What is USER-bge-m3?
USER-bge-m3 is a specialized sentence transformer model designed specifically for the Russian language. It's built upon the BGE-M3 architecture and optimized to generate high-quality 1024-dimensional embeddings for Russian text. The model excels at tasks like semantic search, clustering, and sentence similarity analysis.
Implementation Details
The model was developed through a sophisticated training process involving multiple stages. It was initialized from TatonkaHF/bge-m3_en_ru and enhanced using the LM-Cocktail technique, combining symmetric and asymmetric training approaches. The training utilized over 2.2 million positive pairs and 792,644 negative pairs from various Russian datasets.
