# StoryEmb

This is the model from [our paper](https://www.inf.uni-hamburg.de/en/inst/ab/lt/publications/2024-hatzel-et-al-emnlp.pdf) "Story Embeddings — Narrative-Focused Representations of Fictional Stories". We publish the variant trained on augmented data.

You can use this just like the base model [intfloat/e5-mistral-7b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/intfloat/e5-mistral-7b-instruct).
We trained with the task prefix "Retrieve stories with a similar narrative to the given story: " so we recommand that you use this for story retrieval.

If you are interested in just the adapter weights (e.g. for continued fine-tuning), check out the directory `adapter-weights`.

Do not hestitate to reach out if you encounter any issues! You are likely one of the first few people actually downloading this :)
