## What is it?

**pandas** is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data
structures designed to make working with "relational" or "labeled" data both
easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for
doing practical, **real world** data analysis in Python. Additionally, it has
the broader goal of becoming **the most powerful and flexible open source data
analysis / manipulation tool available in any language**. It is already well on
its way towards this goal.

## Main Features
Here are just a few of the things that pandas does well:

  - Easy handling of [**missing data**][missing-data] (represented as
    `NaN`, `NA`, or `NaT`) in floating point as well as non-floating point data
  - Size mutability: columns can be [**inserted and
    deleted**][insertion-deletion] from DataFrame and higher dimensional
    objects
  - Automatic and explicit [**data alignment**][alignment]: objects can
    be explicitly aligned to a set of labels, or the user can simply
    ignore the labels and let `Series`, `DataFrame`, etc. automatically
    align the data for you in computations
  - Powerful, flexible [**group by**][groupby] functionality to perform
    split-apply-combine operations on data sets, for both aggregating
    and transforming data
  - Make it [**easy to convert**][conversion] ragged,
    differently-indexed data in other Python and NumPy data structures
    into DataFrame objects
  - Intelligent label-based [**slicing**][slicing], [**fancy
    indexing**][fancy-indexing], and [**subsetting**][subsetting] of
    large data sets
  - Intuitive [**merging**][merging] and [**joining**][joining] data
    sets
  - Flexible [**reshaping**][reshape] and [**pivoting**][pivot-table] of
    data sets
  - [**Hierarchical**][mi] labeling of axes (possible to have multiple
    labels per tick)
  - Robust IO tools for loading data from [**flat files**][flat-files]
    (CSV and delimited), [**Excel files**][excel], [**databases**][db],
    and saving/loading data from the ultrafast [**HDF5 format**][hdfstore]
  - [**Time series**][timeseries]-specific functionality: date range
    generation and frequency conversion, moving window statistics,
    date shifting and lagging

# Sentence Transformers: Multilingual Sentence, Paragraph, and Image Embeddings using BERT & Co.

This framework provides an easy method to compute dense vector representations for **sentences**, **paragraphs**, and **images**. The models are based on transformer networks like BERT / RoBERTa / XLM-RoBERTa etc. and achieve state-of-the-art performance in various task. Text is embedding in vector space such that similar text is close and can efficiently be found using cosine similarity.

We provide an increasing number of **[state-of-the-art pretrained models](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html)** for more than 100 languages, fine-tuned for various use-cases.

Further, this framework allows an easy  **[fine-tuning of custom embeddings models](https://www.sbert.net/docs/training/overview.html)**, to achieve maximal performance on your specific task.

For the **full documentation**, see **[www.SBERT.net](https://www.sbert.net)**.

The following publications are integrated in this framework:

- [Sentence-BERT: Sentence Embeddings using Siamese BERT-Networks](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10084) (EMNLP 2019)
- [Making Monolingual Sentence Embeddings Multilingual using Knowledge Distillation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.09813) (EMNLP 2020)
- [Augmented SBERT: Data Augmentation Method for Improving Bi-Encoders for Pairwise Sentence Scoring Tasks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.08240) (NAACL 2021)
- [The Curse of Dense Low-Dimensional Information Retrieval for Large Index Sizes](https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.14210) (arXiv 2020)
- [TSDAE: Using Transformer-based Sequential Denoising Auto-Encoder for Unsupervised Sentence Embedding Learning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.06979) (arXiv 2021)
- [BEIR: A Heterogenous Benchmark for Zero-shot Evaluation of Information Retrieval Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08663) (arXiv 2021)

## Installation

We recommend **Python 3.6** or higher, **[PyTorch 1.6.0](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)** or higher and **[transformers v4.6.0](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers)** or higher. The code does **not** work with Python 2.7.

**Install with pip**

Install the *sentence-transformers* with `pip`:

```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

**Install with conda**

You can install the *sentence-transformers* with `conda`:

```
conda install -c conda-forge sentence-transformers
```

**Install from sources**

Alternatively, you can also clone the latest version from the [repository](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers) and install it directly from the source code:

````
pip install -e .
```` 

**PyTorch with CUDA**

If you want to use a GPU / CUDA, you must install PyTorch with the matching CUDA Version. Follow
[PyTorch - Get Started](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) for further details how to install PyTorch.

## Getting Started

See [Quickstart](https://www.sbert.net/docs/quickstart.html) in our documenation.

[This example](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/tree/master/examples/applications/computing-embeddings/computing_embeddings.py) shows you how to use an already trained Sentence Transformer model to embed sentences for another task.

First download a pretrained model.

````python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
````

Then provide some sentences to the model.

````python
sentences = ['This framework generates embeddings for each input sentence',
    'Sentences are passed as a list of string.', 
    'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.']
sentence_embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
````

And that's it already. We now have a list of numpy arrays with the embeddings.

````python
for sentence, embedding in zip(sentences, sentence_embeddings):
    print("Sentence:", sentence)
    print("Embedding:", embedding)
    print("")
````

## Pre-Trained Models

We provide a large list of [Pretrained Models](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html) for more than 100 languages. Some models are general purpose models, while others produce embeddings for specific use cases. Pre-trained models can be loaded by just passing the model name: `SentenceTransformer('model_name')`.

[»  Full list of pretrained models](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html)

## Training

This framework allows you to fine-tune your own sentence embedding methods, so that you get task-specific sentence embeddings. You have various options to choose from in order to get perfect sentence embeddings for your specific task. 

See [Training Overview](https://www.sbert.net/docs/training/overview.html) for an introduction how to train your own embedding models. We provide [various examples](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/tree/master/examples/training) how to train models on various datasets.

Some highlights are:
- Support of various transformer networks including BERT, RoBERTa, XLM-R, DistilBERT, Electra, BART, ...
- Multi-Lingual and multi-task learning
- Evaluation during training to find optimal model
- [10+ loss-functions](https://www.sbert.net/docs/package_reference/losses.html) allowing to tune models specifically for semantic search, paraphrase mining, semantic similarity comparison, clustering, triplet loss, contrastive loss.

## Performance

Our models are evaluated extensively on 15+ datasets including challening domains like Tweets, Reddit, emails. They achieve by far the **best performance** from all available sentence embedding methods. Further, we provide several **smaller models** that are **optimized for speed**.

[» Full list of pretrained models](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html)

## Application Examples

You can use this framework for:

- [Computing Sentence Embeddings](https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/computing-embeddings/README.html)
- [Semantic Textual Similarity](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/semantic_textual_similarity.html)
