DEk21_hcmute_embedding

DEk21_hcmute_embedding is a Vietnamese text embedding focused on RAG and production efficiency:

📚 Trained Dataset :
The model was trained on an in-house dataset consisting of approximately 100,000 examples of legal questions and their related contexts.

⚙️ Efficiency: Trained with a Matryoshka loss , allowing embeddings to be truncated with minimal performance loss. This ensures that smaller embeddings are faster to compare, making the model efficient for real-world production use.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import torch
from pyvi import ViTokenizer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("huyydangg/DEk21_hcmute_embedding")

# Define query (câu hỏi pháp luật) và docs (điều luật)
query = "Điều kiện để kết hôn hợp pháp là gì?"
docs = [
    "Điều 8 Bộ luật Dân sự 2015 quy định về quyền và nghĩa vụ của công dân trong quan hệ gia đình.",
    "Điều 18 Luật Hôn nhân và gia đình 2014 quy định về độ tuổi kết hôn của nam và nữ.",
    "Điều 14 Bộ luật Dân sự 2015 quy định về quyền và nghĩa vụ của cá nhân khi tham gia hợp đồng.",
    "Điều 27 Luật Hôn nhân và gia đình 2014 quy định về các trường hợp không được kết hôn.",
    "Điều 51 Luật Hôn nhân và gia đình 2014 quy định về việc kết hôn giữa công dân Việt Nam và người nước ngoài."
]

# Tách từ cho query
segmented_query = ViTokenizer.tokenize(query)

# Tách từ cho từng dòng văn bản
segmented_docs = [ViTokenizer.tokenize(doc) for doc in docs]

# Encode query and documents
query_embedding = model.encode([segmented_query])
doc_embeddings = model.encode(segmented_docs)
similarities = torch.nn.functional.cosine_similarity(
    torch.tensor(query_embedding), torch.tensor(doc_embeddings)
).flatten()

# Sort documents by cosine similarity
sorted_indices = torch.argsort(similarities, descending=True)
sorted_docs = [docs[idx] for idx in sorted_indices]
sorted_scores = [similarities[idx].item() for idx in sorted_indices]

# Print sorted documents with their cosine scores
for doc, score in zip(sorted_docs, sorted_scores):
    print(f"Document: {doc} - Cosine Similarity: {score:.4f}")
