About

This model, named *opensearch neural sparse encoding doc v2 distill*, is a neural sparse encoder designed to enhance search relevance without relying on complex inference. It converts documents into high-dimensional sparse vectors (30,522 dimensions), where each non-zero dimension represents a vocabulary token, and its weight reflects its importance in the text. Unlike traditional methods, it enables semantic matching even when there is no lexical overlap between the query and the document, thanks to a nuanced representation of terms and their context. Its key advantages lie in its efficiency, combining improved search relevance, faster inference speeds, and reduced resource consumption compared to its predecessors. It particularly excels on diverse benchmarks like BEIR, delivering robust zero-shot performance on tasks such as document retrieval, question answering, and duplicate detection. Intended for integration into OpenSearch, this model is ideal for systems requiring high-performance semantic search while optimizing computational costs. Its distilled approach makes it accessible both within an OpenSearch cluster and externally via APIs like HuggingFace, offering flexible deployment options.

Select the model

The model should be selected considering search relevance, model inference and retrieval efficiency(FLOPS). We benchmark models' zero-shot performance on a subset of BEIR benchmark: TrecCovid,NFCorpus,NQ,HotpotQA,FiQA,ArguAna,Touche,DBPedia,SCIDOCS,FEVER,Climate FEVER,SciFact,Quora.

Overall, the v2 series of models have better search relevance, efficiency and inference speed than the v1 series. The specific advantages and disadvantages may vary across different datasets.

Overview

  • Paper: Towards Competitive Search Relevance For Inference-Free Learned Sparse Retrievers
  • Fine-tuning sample: opensearch-sparse-model-tuning-sample

This is a learned sparse retrieval model. It encodes the documents to 30522 dimensional sparse vectors. For queries, it just use a tokenizer and a weight look-up table to generate sparse vectors. The non-zero dimension index means the corresponding token in the vocabulary, and the weight means the importance of the token. And the similarity score is the inner product of query/document sparse vectors.

The training datasets includes MS MARCO, eli5_question_answer, squad_pairs, WikiAnswers, yahoo_answers_title_question, gooaq_pairs, stackexchange_duplicate_questions_body_body, wikihow, S2ORC_title_abstract, stackexchange_duplicate_questions_title-body_title-body, yahoo_answers_question_answer, searchQA_top5_snippets, stackexchange_duplicate_questions_title_title, yahoo_answers_title_answer.

OpenSearch neural sparse feature supports learned sparse retrieval with lucene inverted index. Link: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/query-dsl/specialized/neural-sparse/. The indexing and search can be performed with OpenSearch high-level API.

Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

Bash
pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

Python
from sentence_transformers.sparse_encoder import SparseEncoder

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SparseEncoder("opensearch-project/opensearch-neural-sparse-encoding-doc-v2-distill")

query = "What's the weather in ny now?"
document = "Currently New York is rainy."

query_embed = model.encode_query(query)
document_embed = model.encode_document(document)

sim = model.similarity(query_embed, document_embed)
print(f"Similarity: {sim}")
# Similarity: tensor([[17.5307]])

decoded_query = model.decode(query_embed)
decoded_document = model.decode(document_embed)

for i in range(len(decoded_query)):
    query_token, query_score = decoded_query[i]
    doc_score = next((score for token, score in decoded_document if token == query_token), 0)
    if doc_score != 0:
        print(f"Token: {query_token}, Query score: {query_score:.4f}, Document score: {doc_score:.4f}")

# Similarity: tensor([[17.5307]], device='cuda:0')
# Token: ny, Query score: 5.7729, Document score: 1.4109
# Token: weather, Query score: 4.5684, Document score: 1.4673
# Token: now, Query score: 3.5895, Document score: 0.7473

Usage (HuggingFace)

This model is supposed to run inside OpenSearch cluster. But you can also use it outside the cluster, with HuggingFace models API.

Python

import torch

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer


# get sparse vector from dense vectors with shape batch_size * seq_len * vocab_size
def get_sparse_vector(feature, output):
    values, _ = torch.max(output*feature["attention_mask"].unsqueeze(-1), dim=1)
    values = torch.log(1 + torch.relu(values))

    return values
    
# transform the sparse vector to a dict of (token, weight)
def transform_sparse_vector_to_dict(sparse_vector):

    non_zero_values = sparse_vector[(sample_indices,token_indices)].tolist()
    number_of_tokens_for_each_sample = torch.bincount(sample_indices).cpu().tolist()
    tokens = [transform_sparse_vector_to_dict.id_to_token[_id] for _id in token_indices.tolist()]

    output = []
    end_idxs = list(itertools.accumulate([0]+number_of_tokens_for_each_sample))
    for i in range(len(end_idxs)-1):
        token_strings = tokens[end_idxs[i]:end_idxs[i+1]]
        weights = non_zero_values[end_idxs[i]:end_idxs[i+1]]
        output.append(dict(zip(token_strings, weights)))
    return output

    with open(local_cached_path) as f:
        idf = json.load(f)
    idf_vector = [0]*tokenizer.vocab_size
    for token,weight in idf.items():
        _id = tokenizer._convert_token_to_id_with_added_voc(token)
        idf_vector[_id]=weight
    return torch.tensor(idf_vector)

# set the special tokens and id_to_token transform for post-process
special_token_ids = [tokenizer.vocab[token] for token in tokenizer.special_tokens_map.values()]
get_sparse_vector.special_token_ids = special_token_ids
id_to_token = ["" for i in range(tokenizer.vocab_size)]
for token, _id in tokenizer.vocab.items():
    id_to_token[_id] = token
transform_sparse_vector_to_dict.id_to_token = id_to_token



query = "What's the weather in ny now?"
document = "Currently New York is rainy."

# encode the query
feature_query = tokenizer([query], padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
input_ids = feature_query["input_ids"]
batch_size = input_ids.shape[0]
query_vector = torch.zeros(batch_size, tokenizer.vocab_size)
query_vector[torch.arange(batch_size).unsqueeze(-1), input_ids] = 1

# result:
# score in query: 5.7729, score in document: 1.4109, token: ny
# score in query: 4.5684, score in document: 1.4673, token: weather
# score in query: 3.5895, score in document: 0.7473, token: now

The above code sample shows an example of neural sparse search. Although there is no overlap token in original query and document, but this model performs a good match.
