Hello!
Pull Request overview
normalize_embeddings
support to multi-process encodingDetails
The
normalize_embeddings
functionality is fairly straightforward - it speaks for itself.The encoding fix not quite so much. When the model is loaded on CUDA and
start_multi_process_pool
is called, then the model weights become 0.0 as soon as one of the processes start. There's a tad more info here. This is counteracted when the model is on CPU originally, so I move the model tocpu
just prior to starting the encoding. I also use share_memory as it's recommended.Thanks @TeisNP for starting this work!
