Generare vettori sparsi con SPLADE

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
import torch

# Load SPLADE model

model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('naver/splade-cocondenser-ensembledistil')

        output = model(**tokens)
    logits = output.logits
    # Max-pool over sequence length and apply log1p activation
    sparse = torch.max(torch.log1p(torch.relu(logits)), dim=1).values.squeeze()
    # Return non-zero indices and values as a sparse dict
