# SPACE-2

Model from the paper ["SPACE-2: Tree-Structured Semi-Supervised Contrastive Pre-training for Task-Oriented Dialog Understanding"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.06638).

This a port of the original [SPACE-2 model](https://github.com/AlibabaResearch/DAMO-ConvAI/tree/main/space-2) using authors' original [space2hug.py](https://github.com/AlibabaResearch/DAMO-ConvAI/blob/main/space-2/tools/space2hug.py) convertion script.

This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) wrapper around the ported model.


## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:

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

Then you can use the model like this:

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('sergioburdisso/space-2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```
