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:

• RuntimeError

  This exception will be raised when the response from the Jina API does not contain the data key.

Examples

from pymilvus.model.dense import JinaEmbeddingFunction

jina_ef = JinaEmbeddingFunction(
    model_name="jina-embeddings-v2-base-en", # Defaults to `jina-embeddings-v2-base-en`
    api_key="YOUR_JINAAI_API_KEY" # Provide your Jina AI API key
)

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

query_embeddings = jina_ef.encode_queries(queries)

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