How to use samheym/GerColBERT with sentence-transformers:
from pylate import models queries = [ "Which planet is known as the Red Planet?", "What is the largest planet in our solar system?", ] documents = [ ["Mars is the Red Planet.", "Venus is Earth's twin."], ["Jupiter is the largest planet.", "Saturn has rings."], ] model = models.ColBERT(model_name_or_path="samheym/GerColBERT") queries_emb = model.encode(queries, is_query=True) docs_emb = model.encode(documents, is_query=False) - Notebooks

Add Sentence Transformers usage
#1
by tomaarsen HF Staff - opened
Hello!
Starting with the next Sentence Transformers release (v6.0.0, planned for around the 18th), this checkpoint loads directly as a multi-vector (ColBERT-style late interaction) retriever through the new MultiVectorEncoder, alongside its existing PyLate usage. This PR adds a Sentence Transformers usage section to the model card and a multi-vector tag. The weights and the existing PyLate usage are untouched.
I'd love to feature this model in that release's blog post and documentation, especially once it loads without the revision pin (that is, once this PR is merged).
pip install "sentence-transformers @ git+https://github.com/huggingface/sentence-transformers.git"
from sentence_transformers import MultiVectorEncoder
model = MultiVectorEncoder("samheym/GerColBERT", revision="refs/pr/1")
query = "Welcher Planet ist als der Rote Planet bekannt?"
documents = [
"Venus wird wegen ihrer ähnlichen Größe und Nähe oft als Zwilling der Erde bezeichnet.",
"Mars, bekannt für sein rötliches Aussehen, wird oft als der Rote Planet bezeichnet.",
"Jupiter, der größte Planet des Sonnensystems, hat einen markanten roten Fleck.",
"Saturn, berühmt für seine Ringe, wird manchmal mit dem Roten Planeten verwechselt.",
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(query)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, document_embeddings[0].shape)
# (32, 128) (18, 128)
# MaxSim late-interaction scoring (higher is more relevant)
scores = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(scores)
# tensor([[13.8994, 27.9157, 21.6549, 22.7871]])
