+# Granite-Embedding-30m-Sparse
+
+**Model Summary:**
+Granite-Embedding-30m-Sparse is a 30M parameter sparse biencoder embedding model from the Granite Experimental suite that can be used to generate high quality text embeddings. This model produces variable length bag-of-word like dictionary, containing expansions of sentence tokens and their corresponding weights and is trained using a combination of open source relevance-pair datasets with permissive, enterprise-friendly license, and IBM collected and generated datasets. While maintaining competitive scores on academic benchmarks such as BEIR, this model also performs well on many enterprise use cases. This model is developed using retrieval oriented pretraining, contrastive finetuning and knowledge distillation for improved performance.

+
+**Supported Languages:** 
+English.
+
+**Intended use:** 
+The model is designed to produce variable length bag-of-word like dictionary, containing expansions of sentence tokens and their corresponding weights, for a given text, which can be used for text similarity, retrieval, and search applications.
+
+**Usage with Milvus:** 
+The model is compatible with Milvus Vector DB and is very easy to use:
+
+First, install the pymilvus library
+```shell
+pip install pymilvus[model]
+```
+
+The model can then be used to encode pairs of text and find the similarity between their representations
+
+```python
+
+from pymilvus import model
+from pymilvus import MilvusClient, DataType
+
+client = MilvusClient("./milvus_demo.db")
+
+client.drop_collection(collection_name="my_sparse_collection")
+
+schema = client.create_schema(
+    auto_id=True,
+    enable_dynamic_fields=True,
+)
+
+schema.add_field(field_name="pk", datatype=DataType.VARCHAR, is_primary=True, max_length=100)
+schema.add_field(field_name="id", datatype=DataType.VARCHAR, is_primary=False, max_length=100)
+schema.add_field(field_name="embeddings", datatype=DataType.SPARSE_FLOAT_VECTOR)
+
+index_params = client.prepare_index_params()
+
+index_params.add_index(field_name="embeddings",
+                               index_name="sparse_inverted_index",
+                               index_type="SPARSE_INVERTED_INDEX",
+                               metric_type="IP",
+                               params={"drop_ratio_build": 0.2})
+client.create_collection(
+    collection_name="my_sparse_collection",
+    schema=schema,
+    index_params=index_params
+)
+
+embeddings_model = model.sparse.SpladeEmbeddingFunction(
+    model_name="ibm-granite/granite-embedding-30m-sparse", 
+    device="cpu",
+    batch_size=2,
+    k_tokens_query=50,
+    k_tokens_document=192
+)
+
+# Prepare documents to be ingested
+docs = [
+    "Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.",
+    "Alan Turing was the first person to conduct substantial research in AI.",
+    "Born in Maida Vale, London, Turing was raised in southern England.",
+]
+
+# SpladeEmbeddingFunction.encode_documents returns sparse matrix or sparse array depending
+# on the milvus-model version. reshape(1,-1) ensures the format is correct for ingestion.
+doc_vector = [{"embeddings": doc_emb.reshape(1,-1), "id": f"item_{i}"} for i, doc_emb in enumerate(embeddings_model.encode_documents(docs))]
+
+
+client.insert(
+    collection_name="my_sparse_collection",
+    data=doc_vector
+)
+
+# Prepare search parameters
+search_params = {
+    "params": {"drop_ratio_search": 0.2},  # Additional optional search parameters
+}
+
+# Prepare the query vector
+
+queries = [
+      "When was artificial intelligence founded", 
+      "Where was Turing born?"
+]
+query_vector = embeddings_model.encode_documents(queries)
+
+res = client.search(
+    collection_name="my_sparse_collection",
+    data=query_vector,
+    limit=1, #top k documents to return
+    output_fields=["id"],
+    search_params=search_params,
+)
+
+for r in res:
+    print(r)
+
+```
+
+**Usage with 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("ibm-granite/granite-embedding-30m-sparse")
+
+# Run inference
+docs = [
+    "Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.",
+    "Alan Turing was the first person to conduct substantial research in AI.",
+    "Born in Maida Vale, London, Turing was raised in southern England.",
+]
+docs_embeddings = model.encode_document(docs, max_active_dims=192)
+print(docs_embeddings.shape)
+# [3, 50265]
+
+queries = ["When was artificial intelligence founded", "Where was Turing born?"]
+queries_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries, max_active_dims=50)
+print(queries_embeddings.shape)
+# [2, 50265]
+
+# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
+similarities = model.similarity(queries_embeddings, docs_embeddings)
+print(similarities.shape)
+# [2, 3]
+
+for i, query in enumerate(queries):
+    best_doc_index = similarities[i].argmax().item()
+
+    print(f"Query: {query}")
+    print(f"Best doc associate: Similarity: {similarities[i][best_doc_index]:.4f}, Doc: {docs[best_doc_index]}")
+    intersection = model.intersection(queries_embeddings[i], docs_embeddings[best_doc_index])
+    decoded_intersection = model.decode(intersection, top_k=10)
+    print("Top 10 tokens influencing the similarity:")
+    for token, score in decoded_intersection:
+        print(f"Token: {token}, Score: {score:.4f}")

+**Evaluation:**
+
+Granite-Embedding-30m-Sparse is competive in performance to the naver/splade-v3-distilbert despite being half the parameter size. We also compare the sparse model with similar sized dense embedding counterpart `ibm-granite/granite-embedding-30m-english`. The performance of the models on MTEB Retrieval (i.e., BEIR) is reported below. 
+To maintain consistency with results reported by `naver/splade-v3-distilbert`, we do not include CQADupstack and MS-MARCO in the table below.

+
+
+**Model Architecture:**
+Granite-Embedding-30m-Sparse is based on an encoder-only RoBERTa like transformer architecture, trained internally at IBM Research.

+Notably, we do not use the popular MS-MARCO retrieval dataset in our training corpus due to its non-commercial license.
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+We train Granite Embedding Models using IBM's computing cluster, Cognitive Compute Cluster, which is outfitted with NVIDIA A100 80gb GPUs. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over multiple GPUs.
+
+**Ethical Considerations and Limitations:** 
+The data used to train the base language model was filtered to remove text containing hate, abuse, and profanity. Granite-Embedding-30m-Sparse is trained only for English texts, and has a context length of 512 tokens (longer texts will be truncated to this size).
