# SPLADE_DistilMSE: SPLADEv2 trained with the distillated triplets

Training data from: https://github.com/sebastian-hofstaetter/neural-ranking-kd
From Distillation to Hard Negative Sampling: Making Sparse Neural IR Models
More Effective (Thibault Formal, Carlos Lassance, Benjamin Piwowarski,
Stéphane Clinchant). 2022. https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.04733

## Using the model)
The model can be loaded with [experimaestro IR](https://experimaestro-ir.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

```py
from xpmir.models import AutoModel

# Model that can be re-used in experiments
model = AutoModel.load_from_hf_hub("xpmir/SPLADE_DistilMSE")

# Use this if you want to actually use the model
model = AutoModel.load_from_hf_hub("xpmir/SPLADE_DistilMSE", as_instance=True)
model.initialize()
model.rsv("walgreens store sales average", "The average Walgreens salary ranges...")
```
