What is M2V_base_output?
M2V_base_output is a specialized static embedding model created through Model2Vec technology. It's a distilled version of the bge-base-en-v1.5 Sentence Transformer, designed to generate text embeddings at significantly faster speeds while maintaining high performance. The model particularly shines in resource-constrained environments or applications requiring real-time processing.
Implementation Details
The model implements a sophisticated distillation process that involves passing vocabulary through a sentence transformer, applying PCA for dimensionality reduction, and utilizing zipf weighting for embedding optimization. During inference, it computes embeddings by taking the mean of all token embeddings in a sentence.
