Ara-EuroBERT: Arabic Semantic Text Embeddings at Scale

Ara-EuroBERT-2.1B is a sentence-transformers model fine-tuned from EuroBERT/EuroBERT-2.1B , specifically optimized for Arabic semantic embeddings .

This model maps sentences and paragraphs to a 2304-dimensional dense vector space and supports up to 8,192 tokens in a single input sequence.

This model supports Matryoshka (nested) embeddings with the following dimensions:

• Full dimension: 2304
• Reduced dimensions: 1151, 960 , 580

You can select the embedding dimension based on your specific requirements, trading off between performance and computational efficiency.

It is suitable for:

• Semantic textual similarity
• Semantic search
• Paraphrase mining
• Text classification
• Clustering
• And other Arabic NLP tasks

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

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/AraEuroBert-2.1B")

# Run inference
sentences = [
    'لاعبة كرة ناعمة ترمي الكرة إلى زميلتها في الفريق',
    'شخصان يلعبان كرة البيسبول',
    'لاعبين لكرة البيسبول يجلسان على مقعد',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 1152]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]
