Huggingface

HuggingFaceEmbedding

Bases: MultiModalEmbedding

HuggingFace class for text and image embeddings.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
model_name	str	If it is a filepath on disc, it loads the model from that path. If it is not a path, it first tries to download a pre-trained SentenceTransformer model. If that fails, tries to construct a model from the Hugging Face Hub with that name. Defaults to DEFAULT_HUGGINGFACE_EMBEDDING_MODEL.	DEFAULT_HUGGINGFACE_EMBEDDING_MODEL
max_length	Optional[int]	Max sequence length to set in Model's config. If None, it will use the Model's default max_seq_length. Defaults to None.	None
query_instruction	Optional[str]	Instruction to prepend to query text. Defaults to None.	None
text_instruction	Optional[str]	Instruction to prepend to text. Defaults to None.	None
normalize	bool	Whether to normalize returned vectors. Defaults to True.	True
embed_batch_size	int	The batch size used for the computation. Defaults to DEFAULT_EMBED_BATCH_SIZE.	DEFAULT_EMBED_BATCH_SIZE
cache_folder	Optional[str]	Path to store models. Defaults to None.	None
trust_remote_code	bool	Whether or not to allow for custom models defined on the Hub in their own modeling files. This option should only be set to True for repositories you trust and in which you have read the code, as it will execute code present on the Hub on your local machine. Defaults to False.	False
device	Optional[str]	Device (like "cuda", "cpu", "mps", "npu", ...) that should be used for computation. If None, checks if a GPU can be used. Defaults to None.	None
callback_manager	Optional[CallbackManager]	Callback Manager. Defaults to None.	None
parallel_process	bool	If True it will start a multi-process pool to process the encoding with several independent processes. Great for vast amount of texts. Defaults to False.	False
target_devices	Optional[List[str]]	PyTorch target devices, e.g. ["cuda:0", "cuda:1", ...], ["npu:0", "npu:1", ...], or ["cpu", "cpu", "cpu", "cpu"]. If target_devices is None and CUDA/NPU is available, then all available CUDA/NPU devices will be used. If target_devices is None and CUDA/NPU is not available, then 4 CPU devices will be used. This parameter will only be used if parallel_process = True. Defaults to None.	None
num_workers	int	The number of workers to use for async embedding calls. Defaults to None.	required
show_progress_bar	bool	Whether to show a progress bar. Defaults to False.	False
**model_kwargs		Other model kwargs to use	{}
tokenizer_name	Optional[str]	"Deprecated"	'deprecated'
pooling	str	"Deprecated"	'deprecated'
model	Optional[Any]	"Deprecated"	'deprecated'
tokenizer	Optional[Any]	"Deprecated"	'deprecated'
