Quick Start

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("L4_uniform")

sentences = [
    "예약 좀 해줘",           # Korean
    "What did I order?",     # English
    "今日はいい天気ですね",    # Japanese
    "Reserva una mesa",      # Spanish
]

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)  # (4, 384)

Training

This model was created via layer pruning + vocabulary pruning:

1. Teacher: paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 (12 layers, 384 hidden dim)
2. Layer selection: [0, 4, 7, 11] - 4 layers, evenly spaced (compact)
3. Vocab pruning: 250K -> ~38K tokens (corpus-based filtering for 18 target languages)
4. No additional training - weights are directly copied from the teacher

A distilled version of this model is also available with improved performance.

Compression Summary

Stage	Vocab	Layers	Size
Teacher (original)	250,002	12	~480MB
+ Layer pruning	250,002	4	~393MB
+ Vocab pruning	~38,330	4	~85MB

Limitations

• Vocabulary pruning restricts the model to the 18 target languages
• Designed for short dialogue utterances, not long documents
• Layer pruning may reduce performance on complex semantic tasks
