ModernBERT Embed base Legal Matryoshka

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from nomic-ai/modernbert-embed-base on the json dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

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("aaa961/modernbert-embed-base-legal-original")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'conclusion, however, is weighty—steeped in myriad complexity and fraught with tension—and in the Court’s view, \nthis conclusion has significant implications for the scope of the FOIA.  The Court will further discuss the two-fold \nreasoning that leads to this result. \nFirst, permitting a member of the public to request from an agency a listing of search results or a listing that',
    'What does the Court believe about the conclusion?',
    'Where can the statement about the best value basis for awards in Polaris be found?',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[1.0000, 0.5555, 0.0863],
#         [0.5555, 1.0000, 0.1753],
#         [0.0863, 0.1753, 1.0000]])
