Sentence Transformers

SentenceTransformers embeddings are called using the HuggingFaceEmbeddings integration. We have also added an alias for SentenceTransformerEmbeddings for users who are more familiar with directly using that package.

SentenceTransformers is a python package that can generate text and image embeddings, originating from Sentence-BERT
