Creates a SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder component.

Arguments:

  • model: The model to use for calculating embeddings. Pass a local path or ID of the model on Hugging Face.
  • device: The device to use for loading the model. Overrides the default device.
  • token: The API token to download private models from Hugging Face.
  • prefix: A string to add at the beginning of each document text. Can be used to prepend the text with an instruction, as required by some embedding models, such as E5 and bge.
  • suffix: A string to add at the end of each document text.
  • batch_size: Number of documents to embed at once.
  • progress_bar: If True, shows a progress bar when embedding documents.
  • normalize_embeddings: If True, returns vectors with length 1.
  • meta_fields_to_embed: List of metadata fields to embed along with the document text.
  • embedding_separator: Separator used to concatenate the metadata fields to the document text.
  • trust_remote_code: If False, allows only Hugging Face verified model architectures. If True, allows custom models and scripts.
  • truncate_dim: The dimension to truncate sentence embeddings to. None does no truncation. If the model wasn't trained with Matryoshka Representation Learning, truncating embeddings can significantly affect performance.
  • model_kwargs: Additional keyword arguments for AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained when loading the model. Refer to specific model documentation for available kwargs.
  • tokenizer_kwargs: Additional keyword arguments for AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained when loading the tokenizer. Refer to specific model documentation for available kwargs.
  • precision: The precision to use for the embeddings. All non-float32 precisions are quantized embeddings. Quantized embeddings are smaller in size and faster to compute, but may have a lower accuracy. They are useful for reducing the size of the embeddings of a corpus for semantic search, among other tasks.

Module sentence_transformers_text_embedder

SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder

Embeds strings using Sentence Transformers models.

You can use it to embed user query and send it to an embedding retriever.

Usage example:

from haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder

text_to_embed = "I love pizza!"

text_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder()
text_embedder.warm_up()

print(text_embedder.run(text_to_embed))

# {'embedding': [-0.07804739475250244, 0.1498992145061493,, ...]}
