# Model Card for `vectorizer-v1-S-en`
This model is a vectorizer developed by Sinequa. It produces an embedding vector given a passage or a query. The
passage vectors are stored in our vector index and the query vector is used at query time to look up relevant passages
in the index.
Model name: `vectorizer-v1-S-en`
## Supported Languages
The model was trained and tested in the following languages:
- English
## Scores
| Metric | Value |
|:-----------------------|------:|
| Relevance (Recall@100) | 0.456 |
Note that the relevance score is computed as an average over 14 retrieval datasets (see
[details below](#evaluation-metrics)).
## Inference Times
| GPU | Batch size 1 (at query time) | Batch size 32 (at indexing) |
|:-----------|-----------------------------:|----------------------------:|
| NVIDIA A10 | 2 ms | 14 ms |
| NVIDIA T4 | 4 ms | 52 ms |
The inference times only measure the time the model takes to process a single batch, it does not include pre- or
post-processing steps like the tokenization.
## Requirements
- Minimal Sinequa version: 11.10.0
- GPU memory usage: 330 MiB
Note that GPU memory usage only includes how much GPU memory the actual model consumes on an NVIDIA T4 GPU with a batch
size of 32. It does not include the fix amount of memory that is consumed by the ONNX Runtime upon initialization which
can be around 0.5 to 1 GiB depending on the used GPU.
## Model Details
### Overview
- Number of parameters: 29 million
- Base language model: [English BERT-Small](https://huggingface.co/google/bert_uncased_L-4_H-512_A-8)
- Insensitive to casing and accents
- Output dimensions: 256 (reduced with an additional dense layer)
- Training procedure: A first model was trained with query-passage pairs, using the in-batch negative strategy with [this loss](https://www.sbert.net/docs/package_reference/losses.html#multiplenegativesrankingloss). A second model was then trained on query-passage-negative triplets with negatives mined from the previous model, like a variant of [ANCE](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.00808.pdf) but with different hyper parameters.
### Training Data
The model was trained on a Sinequa curated version of Google's [Natural Questions](https://ai.google.com/research/NaturalQuestions).
### Evaluation Metrics
To determine the relevance score, we averaged the results that we obtained when evaluating on the datasets of the
[BEIR benchmark](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir). Note that all these datasets are in English.
