JinaColBERT V2: your multilingual late interaction retriever!

JinaColBERT V2 (jina-colbert-v2) is a new model based on the JinaColBERT V1 that expands on the capabilities and performance of the jina-colbert-v1-en model. Like the previous release, it has Jina AI’s 8192 token input context and the improved efficiency, performance, and explainability of token-level embeddings and late interaction.

This new release adds new functionality and performance improvements:

• Multilingual support for dozens of languages, with strong performance on major global languages.
• Matryoshka embeddings, which allow users to trade between efficiency and precision flexibly.
• Superior retrieval performance when compared to the English-only jina-colbert-v1-en.

JinaColBERT V2 offers three different versions for different embeddings dimensions: jinaai/jina-colbert-v2: 128 dimension embeddings jinaai/jina-colbert-v2-96: 96 dimension embeddings jinaai/jina-colbert-v2-64: 64 dimension embeddings

Usage

Installation

jina-colbert-v2 is trained with flash attention and therefore requires einops and flash_attn to be installed.

To use the model, you could either use the Standford ColBERT library or use the ragatouille package that we provide.

pip install -U einops flash_attn
pip install -U ragatouille
pip install -U colbert-ai

RAGatouille

from ragatouille import RAGPretrainedModel

RAG = RAGPretrainedModel.from_pretrained("jinaai/jina-colbert-v2")
docs = [
    "ColBERT is a novel ranking model that adapts deep LMs for efficient retrieval.",
    "Jina-ColBERT is a ColBERT-style model but based on JinaBERT so it can support both 8k context length, fast and accurate retrieval.",
]
RAG.index(docs, index_name="demo")
query = "What does ColBERT do?"
results = RAG.search(query)

Stanford ColBERT

from colbert.infra import ColBERTConfig
from colbert.modeling.checkpoint import Checkpoint

ckpt = Checkpoint("jinaai/jina-colbert-v2", colbert_config=ColBERTConfig())
docs = [
    "ColBERT is a novel ranking model that adapts deep LMs for efficient retrieval.",
    "Jina-ColBERT is a ColBERT-style model but based on JinaBERT so it can support both 8k context length, fast and accurate retrieval.",
]
query_vectors = ckpt.queryFromText(docs, bsize=2)
