## MiniCPM-Embedding

**MiniCPM-Embedding** 是面壁智能与清华大学自然语言处理实验室(THUNLP)共同开发的中英双语言文本嵌入模型,有如下特点:
- 出色的中文、英文检索能力。
- 出色的中英跨语言检索能力。

MiniCPM-Embedding 基于 [MiniCPM-2B-sft-bf16](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-2B-sft-bf16) 训练,结构上采取双向注意力和 Weighted Mean Pooling [1]。采取多阶段训练方式,共使用包括开源数据、机造数据、闭源数据在内的约 600 万条训练数据。

欢迎关注 RAG 套件系列:

- 检索模型:[MiniCPM-Embedding](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-Embedding)
- 重排模型:[MiniCPM-Reranker](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-Reranker)
- 面向 RAG 场景的 LoRA 插件:[MiniCPM3-RAG-LoRA](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM3-RAG-LoRA)

**MiniCPM-Embedding** is a bilingual & cross-lingual text embedding model developed by ModelBest Inc. and THUNLP, featuring:

- Exceptional Chinese and English retrieval capabilities.
- Outstanding cross-lingual retrieval capabilities between Chinese and English.

MiniCPM-Embedding is trained based on [MiniCPM-2B-sft-bf16](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-2B-sft-bf16) and incorporates bidirectional attention and Weighted Mean Pooling [1] in its architecture. The model underwent multi-stage training using approximately 6 million training examples, including open-source, synthetic, and proprietary data.

## 模型信息 Model Information

- 模型大小:2.4B
- 嵌入维度:2304
- 最大输入token数:512

- Model Size: 2.4B
- Embedding Dimension: 2304
- Max Input Tokens: 512

## 使用方法 Usage

### 输入格式 Input Format

本模型支持 query 侧指令,格式如下:

MiniCPM-Embedding supports query-side instructions in the following format:

```
Instruction: {{ instruction }} Query: {{ query }}
```

例如:

For example:

```
Instruction: 为这个医学问题检索相关回答。Query: 咽喉癌的成因是什么?
```

```
Instruction: Given a claim about climate change, retrieve documents that support or refute the claim. Query: However the warming trend is slower than most climate models have forecast.
```

也可以不提供指令,即采取如下格式:

MiniCPM-Embedding also works in instruction-free mode in the following format:

```
Query: {{ query }}
```

我们在 BEIR 与 C-MTEB/Retrieval 上测试时使用的指令见 `instructions.json`,其他测试不使用指令。文档侧直接输入文档原文。

When running evaluation on BEIR and C-MTEB/Retrieval, we use instructions in `instructions.json`. For other evaluations, we do not use instructions. On the document side, we directly use the bare document as the input.

### 环境要求 Requirements

```
transformers==4.37.2
flash-attn>2.3.5
```

### 示例脚本 Demo

#### Huggingface Transformers
```python

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F

model_name = "openbmb/MiniCPM-Embedding"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
model.eval()

# 事实上我们用的是weighted mean pooling,但为了部署方便,我们将一部分pooling步骤集成在model.forward中
# In fact, we will use weighted mean pooling, but we will integrate some pooling steps into model.forward for deployment convenience
def mean_pooling(hidden,attention_mask):
    s = torch.sum(hidden * attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).float(), dim=1)
    d = attention_mask.sum(dim=1, keepdim=True).float()
    reps = s / d
    return reps

@torch.no_grad()
def encode(input_texts):
    batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=512, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt', return_attention_mask=True).to("cuda")
    
    outputs = model(**batch_dict)
    attention_mask = batch_dict["attention_mask"]
    hidden = outputs.last_hidden_state

    reps = mean_pooling(hidden, attention_mask)   
    embeddings = F.normalize(reps, p=2, dim=1).detach().cpu().numpy()
    return embeddings

queries = ["中国的首都是哪里?"]
passages = ["beijing", "shanghai"]


INSTRUCTION = "Query: "
queries = [INSTRUCTION + query for query in queries]

embeddings_query = encode(queries)
embeddings_doc = encode(passages)

scores = (embeddings_query @ embeddings_doc.T)
print(scores.tolist())  # [[0.3535913825035095, 0.18596848845481873]]
```

#### Sentence Transformers

```python
import torch
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model_name = "openbmb/MiniCPM-Embedding"
model = SentenceTransformer(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, model_kwargs={"attn_implementation":"flash_attention_2", "torch_dtype":torch.float16})
model.max_seq_length = 512
model.tokenizer.padding_side="right"

queries = ["中国的首都是哪里?"]
passages = ["beijing", "shanghai"]


INSTRUCTION = "Query: "

embeddings_query = model.encode(queries, prompt=INSTRUCTION, normalize_embeddings=True)
embeddings_doc = model.encode(passages, normalize_embeddings=True)

scores = (embeddings_query @ embeddings_doc.T)
print(scores.tolist())  # [[0.3535913825035095, 0.18596848845481873]]
