-# longformer
+# Text Embedding with longformer
 
+*author: Kyle He*
+
+
+
+## Desription
+
+This operator uses Longformer to convert long text to embeddings.
+
+The Longformer model was presented in Longformer: The Long-Document Transformer by Iz Beltagy, Matthew E. Peters, Arman Cohan[1].
+
+**Longformer** models were proposed in “[Longformer: The Long-Document Transformer][2].
+
+Transformer-based models are unable to process long sequences due to their self-attention
+operation, which scales quadratically with the sequence length. To address this limitation,
+we introduce the Longformer with an attention mechanism that scales linearly with sequence
+length, making it easy to process documents of thousands of tokens or longer[2].
+
+## Reference
+
+[1].https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.16.2/en/model_doc/longformer#transformers.LongformerConfig
+
+[2].https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.05150.pdf
+
+```python
+from towhee import ops
+
+text_encoder = ops.text_embedding.longformer(model_name="allenai/longformer-base-4096")
+text_embedding = text_encoder("Hello, world.")
+```
+
+## Factory Constructor
+
+Create the operator via the following factory method
+
+***ops.text_embedding.longformer(model_name)***
+
+
+
+## Interface
+
+A text embedding operator takes a sentence, paragraph, or document in string as an input
+and output an embedding vector in ndarray which captures the input's core semantic elements.
+
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+​	***text***: *str*
+
+​	The text in string.
+
+
+
+**Returns**: *numpy.ndarray*
+
+​	The text embedding extracted by model.
+
+
+
+## Code Example
+
+Use the pretrained model ('allenai/longformer-base-4096')
+to generate a text embedding for the sentence "Hello, world.". 
+
+ *Write the pipeline in simplified style*:
+
+```python
+import towhee.DataCollection as dc
+
+dc.glob("Hello, world.")
+  .text_embedding.longformer('longformer-base-4096')
+  .show()
+```
+
+*Write a same pipeline with explicit inputs/outputs name specifications:*
+
+```python
+from towhee import DataCollection as dc
+
+dc.glob['text']('Hello, world.')
+  .text_embedding.longformer['text', 'vec']('longformer-base-4096')
+  .select('vec')
+  .show()
+```
