WordLlama: Fast Lightweight NLP Toolkit Based on LLama Embeddings

Explore WordLlama, a fast and lightweight NLP toolkit designed for efficient handling of tasks like fuzzy-deduplication, similarity, and ranking. Learn about this innovative tool that optimizes performance on CPU hardware with minimal inference-time dependencies. Discover how WordLlama outperforms word models like GloVe 300d on MTEB benchmarks while maintaining a significantly smaller size of 16MB for its default 256-dimensional model. Understand the unique approach of WordLlama in recycling components from large language models to create compact and efficient word representations. Gain insights into its process of extracting token embedding codebooks from state-of-the-art LLMs like LLama3 70B and training a small context-less model within a general-purpose embedding framework. Access resources including the GitHub repository, benchmark scores, and a live demo on Hugging Face Spaces to further explore this powerful NLP toolkit.
