Examples

from pymilvus.model.sparse.bm25.tokenizers import build_default_analyzer
from pymilvus.model.sparse import BM25EmbeddingFunction

# there are some built-in analyzers for several languages, now we use 'en' for English.
analyzer = build_default_analyzer(language="en")

bm25_ef = BM25EmbeddingFunction(analyzer)

# Save BM25 parameters to a file
bm25_ef.save("example.json")

# Build a new BM25EmbeddingFunction
new_bm25_ef = BM25EmbeddingFunction(analyzer)

# Load the saved parameters from the file
new_bm25_ef.load("example.json")
