DenseEncoder Objects

class DenseEncoder(BaseModel)

__call__

def __call__(docs: List[Any]) -> List[List[float]]

Encode a list of documents. Documents can be any type, but the encoder must

be built to handle that data type. Typically, these types are strings or arrays representing images.

Arguments:

• docs (List[Any]): The documents to encode.

Returns:

List[List[float]]: The encoded documents.

acall

async def acall(docs: List[Any]) -> List[List[float]]

Encode a list of documents asynchronously. Documents can be any type, but the

encoder must be built to handle that data type. Typically, these types are strings or arrays representing images.

Arguments:

• docs (List[Any]): The documents to encode.

Returns:

List[List[float]]: The encoded documents.

SparseEncoder Objects

class SparseEncoder(BaseModel)

An encoder that encodes documents into a sparse format.

__call__

def __call__(docs: List[str]) -> List[SparseEmbedding]

Sparsely encode a list of documents. Documents can be any type, but the encoder must

be built to handle that data type. Typically, these types are strings or arrays representing images.

Arguments:

• docs (List[Any]): The documents to encode.

Returns:

List[SparseEmbedding]: The encoded documents.

acall

async def acall(docs: List[Any]) -> List[SparseEmbedding]

Encode a list of documents asynchronously. Documents can be any type, but the

encoder must be built to handle that data type. Typically, these types are strings or arrays representing images.

Arguments:

• docs (List[Any]): The documents to encode.

Returns:

List[SparseEmbedding]: The encoded documents.
