​

Imports

from langchain_community.embeddings.laser import LaserEmbeddings

​

Instantiating Laser

​

Parameters

• lang: Optional[str]

  If empty will default to using a multilingual LASER encoder model (called “laser2”). You can find the list of supported languages and lang_codes here and here .

# Ex Instantiationz
embeddings = LaserEmbeddings(lang="eng_Latn")

​

Usage

​

Generating document embeddings

document_embeddings = embeddings.embed_documents(
    ["This is a sentence", "This is some other sentence"]
)

​

Generating query embeddings

query_embeddings = embeddings.embed_query("This is a query")
