Sentence Transformers on Hugging Face

Hugging Face sentence-transformers is a Python framework for state-of-the-art sentence, text and image embeddings. One of the embedding models is used in the HuggingFaceEmbeddings class. We have also added an alias for SentenceTransformerEmbeddings for users who are more familiar with directly using that package.

sentence_transformers package models are originating from Sentence-BERT
