# PyLate model based on colbert-ir/colbertv2.0

This is a [PyLate](https://github.com/lightonai/pylate) model finetuned from [colbert-ir/colbertv2.0](https://huggingface.co/colbert-ir/colbertv2.0) on the [msmarco-bm25](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sentence-transformers/msmarco-bm25) dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to sequences of 128-dimensional dense vectors and can be used for semantic textual similarity using the MaxSim operator.

## Model Details

### Full Model Architecture

```

ColBERT(

  (0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 179, 'do_lower_case': False}) with Transformer model: BertModel 

  (1): Dense({'in_features': 768, 'out_features': 128, 'bias': False, 'activation_function': 'torch.nn.modules.linear.Identity'})

)

```

## Usage
First install the PyLate library:

```bash

pip install -U pylate

```

### Retrieval

PyLate provides a streamlined interface to index and retrieve documents using ColBERT models. The index leverages the Voyager HNSW index to efficiently handle document embeddings and enable fast retrieval.

#### Indexing documents

First, load the ColBERT model and initialize the Voyager index, then encode and index your documents:

```python

from pylate import indexes, models, retrieve



# Step 1: Load the ColBERT model

model = models.ColBERT(

    model_name_or_path=pylate_model_id,

)



# Step 2: Initialize the Voyager index

index = indexes.Voyager(

    index_folder="pylate-index",

    index_name="index",

    override=True,  # This overwrites the existing index if any

)



# Step 3: Encode the documents

documents_ids = ["1", "2", "3"]

documents = ["document 1 text", "document 2 text", "document 3 text"]



documents_embeddings = model.encode(

    documents,

    batch_size=32,

    is_query=False,  # Ensure that it is set to False to indicate that these are documents, not queries

    show_progress_bar=True,

)



# Step 4: Add document embeddings to the index by providing embeddings and corresponding ids

index.add_documents(

    documents_ids=documents_ids,

    documents_embeddings=documents_embeddings,

)

```

Note that you do not have to recreate the index and encode the documents every time. Once you have created an index and added the documents, you can re-use the index later by loading it:

```python

# To load an index, simply instantiate it with the correct folder/name and without overriding it

index = indexes.Voyager(

    index_folder="pylate-index",

    index_name="index",

)

```

#### Retrieving top-k documents for queries

Once the documents are indexed, you can retrieve the top-k most relevant documents for a given set of queries.
To do so, initialize the ColBERT retriever with the index you want to search in, encode the queries and then retrieve the top-k documents to get the top matches ids and relevance scores:

```python

# Step 1: Initialize the ColBERT retriever

retriever = retrieve.ColBERT(index=index)



# Step 2: Encode the queries

queries_embeddings = model.encode(

    ["query for document 3", "query for document 1"],

    batch_size=32,

    is_query=True,  #  # Ensure that it is set to False to indicate that these are queries

    show_progress_bar=True,

)



# Step 3: Retrieve top-k documents

scores = retriever.retrieve(

    queries_embeddings=queries_embeddings,

    k=10,  # Retrieve the top 10 matches for each query

)

```

### Reranking
If you only want to use the ColBERT model to perform reranking on top of your first-stage retrieval pipeline without building an index, you can simply use rank function and pass the queries and documents to rerank:

```python

from pylate import rank, models



queries = [

    "query A",

    "query B",

]



documents = [

    ["document A", "document B"],

    ["document 1", "document C", "document B"],

]



documents_ids = [

    [1, 2],

    [1, 3, 2],

]



model = models.ColBERT(

    model_name_or_path=pylate_model_id,

)



queries_embeddings = model.encode(

    queries,

    is_query=True,

)



documents_embeddings = model.encode(

    documents,

    is_query=False,

)



reranked_documents = rank.rerank(

    documents_ids=documents_ids,

    queries_embeddings=queries_embeddings,

    documents_embeddings=documents_embeddings,

)

```

It is also approved for use in foods and cosmetics. FD&C Yellow No. 6 Lake imparts a reddish-yellow color to medicinal dosage forms. FDA performs regulatory review for color additives used in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. FD&C specifies the color is approved for use in food, drugs and cosmetics. FD&C Yellow No. 6 Lake may be safely used as a color additive when following FDA specifications. To form lake colors, straight dyes (such as FD&C Yellow No. 6) are mixed with precipitants and salts. Aluminum may be a component. Lakes may be used as color additives for tablet coatings due to their stability.</code> | <code>Coumadin: 6 mg [scored; contains fd&c blue #1 aluminum lake, fd&c yellow #6 aluminum lake] Coumadin: 7.5 mg [scored; contains fd&c yellow #10 aluminum lake, fd&c yellow #6 aluminum lake] Coumadin: 10 mg [scored; dye free] Jantoven: 1 mg [scored; contains fd&c red #40 aluminum lake]</code>                                                   |
  | <code>how long can ringworm live on clothes</code> | <code>-Sometimes the ringworm on the scalp can causes patches of hair loss. Ringworm in dogs can be spread many of the same ways. Even sharing clothes, towels, or combs may result in spreading the infection.

Ringworm is more common in unsanitary and crowded places. That's because it can live on both skin and surfaces like shower floors, and can be transferred by sharing clothes, sheets, and towels.
