I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.

Description:
This framework provides an easy method to compute embeddings for accessing, using, and training state-of-the-art embedding and reranker models. It can be used to compute embeddings using Sentence Transformer models (quickstart), to calculate similarity scores using Cross-Encoder (a.k.a. reranker) models (quickstart) or to generate sparse embeddings using Sparse Encoder models (quickstart). This unlocks a wide range of applications, including semantic search, semantic textual similarity, and paraphrase mining.
