# PyLate model based on answerdotai/ModernBERT-base
This is a [PyLate](https://github.com/lightonai/pylate) model finetuned from [answerdotai/ModernBERT-base](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/ModernBERT-base) on the [msmarco-10m-triplets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bclavie/msmarco-10m-triplets) 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
### Model Description
- **Model Type:** PyLate model
- **Base model:** [answerdotai/ModernBERT-base](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/ModernBERT-base)
- **Document Length:** 512 tokens
- **Query Length:** 32 tokens
- **Output Dimensionality:** 128 tokens
- **Similarity Function:** MaxSim
- **Training Dataset:**
- [msmarco-10m-triplets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bclavie/msmarco-10m-triplets)
### Model Sources
- **Documentation:** [PyLate Documentation](https://lightonai.github.io/pylate/)
- **Repository:** [PyLate on GitHub](https://github.com/lightonai/pylate)
- **Hugging Face:** [PyLate models on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=PyLate)
### Full Model Architecture
```
ColBERT(
(0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 512, 'do_lower_case': False, 'architecture': 'ModernBertModel'})
(1): Dense({'in_features': 768, 'out_features': 128, 'bias': False, 'activation_function': 'torch.nn.modules.linear.Identity', 'use_residual': False})
)
```
## Usage
First install the PyLate library:
```bash
pip install -U pylate
```
### Retrieval
Use this model with PyLate to index and retrieve documents. The index uses [FastPLAID](https://github.com/lightonai/fast-plaid) for efficient similarity search.
#### Indexing documents
Load the ColBERT model and initialize the PLAID 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 PLAID index
index = indexes.PLAID(
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.PLAID(
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,
)
```

the most important factor that influences k+ secretion is __________. | The regulation of K+ distribution between the intracellular and extracellular space is referred to as internal K+ balance. The most important factors regulating this movement under normal conditions are insulin and catecholamines (1). | They are both also important for secretion and flow of bile: 1 Cholecystokinin: The name of this hormone describes its effect on the biliary system-cholecysto = gallbladder and kinin = movement. 2 Secretin: This hormone is secreted in response to acid in the duodenum. |
| how much did the mackinac bridge cost to build | The cost to design the project was $3,500,000 (Steinman Company). The cost to construct the bridge was $70, 268,500. Two primary contractors were hired to build the bridge: American Bridge for superstructure - $44,532,900; and Merritt-Chapman and Scott of New York for the foundations - $25,735,600. | When your child needs a dental tooth bridge, you need to know the average cost so you can factor the price into your budget. Several factors affect the price of a bridge, which can run between $700 to $1,500 per tooth. If you have insurance or your child is covered by Medicaid, part of the cost may be covered. |
| when do concussion symptoms appear | Then you can get advice on what to do next. For milder symptoms, the doctor may recommend rest and ask you to watch your child closely for changes, such as a headache that gets worse. Symptoms of a concussion don't always show up right away, and can develop within 24 to 72 hours after an injury. | Concussion: A traumatic injury to soft tissue, usually the brain, as a result of a violent blow, shaking, or spinning. A brain concussion can cause immediate but temporary impairment of brain functions, such as thinking, vision, equilibrium, and consciousness. After a person has had a concussion, he or she is at increased risk for recurrence. Moreover, after a person has several concussions, less of a blow can cause injury, and the person can require more time to recover. |
