# Multi-Vector Encoder
This is a [Multi-Vector Encoder](https://www.sbert.net/docs/multi_vector_encoder/usage/usage.html) model finetuned from [Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-2B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-2B) on the llamaindex-vdr-en-train-preprocessed dataset using the [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) library. It maps inputs to sequences of 128-dimensional token-level vectors and scores them with late interaction (MaxSim), useful for semantic search with late interaction.
## Model Details
### Model Description
- **Model Type:** Multi-Vector Encoder
- **Base model:** [Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-2B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-2B) <!-- at revision 9f2f7e710d6d81056aa5c0a4f04764fec6bb7bda -->
- **Maximum Sequence Length:** 262144 tokens
- **Output Dimensionality:** 128 dimensions
- **Similarity Function:** maxsim
- **Supported Modalities:** Text, Image, Video, Message
- **Training Dataset:**
- llamaindex-vdr-en-train-preprocessed
<!-- - **Language:** Unknown -->
<!-- - **License:** Unknown -->

```
## Usage
### Direct Usage (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 MultiVectorEncoder
# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = MultiVectorEncoder("tomaarsen/ColQwen3-VL-Embedding-2B-vdr")
# Run inference: each input becomes a sequence of per-token vectors (variable length).
queries = [
'What are the new anthropological perspectives on development as discussed by Quarles Van Ufford and Giri in 2003?',
]
documents = [
'https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/ColQwen3-VL-Embedding-2B-vdr/resolve/main/assets/image_0.jpg',
'https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/ColQwen3-VL-Embedding-2B-vdr/resolve/main/assets/image_1.jpg',
'https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/ColQwen3-VL-Embedding-2B-vdr/resolve/main/assets/image_2.jpg',
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings[0].shape, document_embeddings[0].shape)
# (48, 128) (352, 128)
# Get the MaxSim similarity scores
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[37.0712, 33.5348, 23.2705]])
