encode_queries()

This operation takes in a list of query strings and encodes each query into a vector embedding.

Request syntax

encode_queries(
    queries: List[str], 
) -> List[np.array]

PARAMETERS:

• queries (List[str])

  A list of string values, where each string represents a query that will be passed to the embedding model for encoding. The model will generate an embedding vector for each string in the list.

RETURN TYPE:

List[np.array]

RETURNS:

A list where each element is a NumPy array.

Exceptions:

• ImportError

  This exception will be raised when the Voyage module is not installed.

Examples

from pymilvus.model.dense import VoyageEmbeddingFunction

voyage_ef = VoyageEmbeddingFunction(
    model_name="voyage-lite-02-instruct", # Defaults to `voyage-2`
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY' # Replace with your own Voyage API key
)

queries = ["When was artificial intelligence founded", 
           "Where was Alan Turing born?"]

query_embeddings = voyage_ef.encode_queries(queries)

print("Embeddings:", query_embeddings)
print("Dim", voyage_ef.dim, query_embeddings[0].shape)
