# SPLADE Multi-Domain E-Commerce Search

A SPLADE sparse encoder fine-tuned on multiple e-commerce datasets (Amazon ESCI + Wayfair WANDS + Home Depot) for better cross-domain generalization. Trades slight in-domain performance for significantly better generalization across e-commerce domains.

## Benchmark Results

### Cross-Domain Performance (vs Single-Domain Model)

| Dataset | Single-Domain | **Multi-Domain** | Improvement |
|---------|---------------|------------------|-------------|
| ESCI (in-domain) | 0.389 | 0.372 | -4% |
| WANDS (Wayfair) | 0.355 | **0.366** | +3% |
| Home Depot | 0.384 | **0.410** | +7% |

### vs BM25 Baseline

| Dataset | BM25 | **This Model** | Improvement |
|---------|------|----------------|-------------|
| ESCI | 0.305 | 0.372 | +22% |
| WANDS | 0.329 | 0.366 | +11% |
| Home Depot | 0.349 | 0.410 | +17% |

## Model Description

This is a [SPLADE Sparse Encoder](https://www.sbert.net/docs/sparse_encoder/usage/usage.html) model finetuned from [distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased) using the [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) library. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 30522-dimensional sparse vector space and can be used for semantic search and sparse retrieval.

### Full Model Architecture

```
SparseEncoder(
  (0): MLMTransformer({'max_seq_length': 512, 'do_lower_case': False, 'architecture': 'DistilBertForMaskedLM'})

)
```

## Usage

### Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

```bash
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

Then you can load this model and run inference.
```python
from sentence_transformers import SparseEncoder

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SparseEncoder("sparse_encoder_model_id")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'mpow',
    '[Mpow] Wireless Earbuds Active Noise Cancelling, Mpow X3 ANC Bluetooth Earphones w/4 Mics Noise Cancelling, Stereo Earbuds w/Deep Bass, 30Hrs ANC Earbuds w/USB-C Charge, Smart Touch Control, IPX8 Waterproof',
    '[Jerzees] Jerzees Dri-Power Poly Pocketed Open-Bottom Sweatpants, Large - Black 100% Polyester Pre-shrunk Jersey',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 30522]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[ 69.1663,  66.0022,  51.6937],
#         [ 66.0022, 238.3157,  60.5486],
#         [ 51.6937,  60.5486, 174.3004]])
```
