Semantic text segmentation and embedding generation module.
This module implements the core logic for splitting preprocessed (shielded) text
into sentences and generating dense vector embeddings using multilingual
Bi-Encoder models with long-context support.
CRITICAL: All models must be pre-downloaded to local storage.
Mathematical Foundations
------------------------
1. Sentence Segmentation:
- Rule-based tokenization via PySBD (Python Sentence Boundary Disambiguation)
- Time complexity: O(n) where n = text length
- Reference: Sadvilkar & Neumann, "PySBD: Pragmatic Sentence Boundary
Disambiguation", EMNLP 2020 [1]
2. Embedding Generation (Bi-Encoder Architecture):
- Input: tokenized sentence s = [t₁, t₂, ..., tₖ]
- Output: embedding v ∈ ℝᵈ where d = embedding dimension (384 for MiniLM)
- Forward pass: v = MeanPool(BERT(s)) ∈ ℝᵈ
- Normalization: v̂ = v / ||v||₂ (L2 normalization for cosine similarity)
- Reference: Reimers & Gurevych, "Sentence-BERT", EMNLP 2019 [2]
3. Cosine Similarity for Semantic Distance:
- sim(u, v) = (u · v) / (||u||₂ · ||v||₂) ∈ [-1, 1]
- For L2-normalized vectors: sim(u, v) = u · v
- Distance metric: d(u, v) = 1 - sim(u, v) ∈ [0, 2]
- Reference: Manning & Schütze, "Foundations of Statistical NLP" [3]
4. ONNX Runtime Optimization:
- Graph optimization: operator fusion, constant folding, layout optimization
- Execution providers: CUDA (GPU) → CPU fallback chain
- Speedup: 2-4x inference acceleration vs. PyTorch eager mode
- Reference: Microsoft ONNX Runtime Documentation [4]

Performance Characteristics
---------------------------
- Model loading: ~50-200ms (ONNX from local), ~100-400ms (PyTorch from local)
- Sentence segmentation: O(n) with negligible constant factor (~0.1ms/KB)
- Embedding inference:
* ONNX + CUDA: ~2-5ms per sentence (batch=32)
* ONNX + CPU: ~10-30ms per sentence (batch=32)
* PyTorch + CUDA: ~5-15ms per sentence (batch=32)
- Memory footprint: ~90MB (MiniLM-L6-v2), ~45MB with FP16 on CUDA
Thread Safety
-------------
- Singleton instance uses double-checked locking for thread-safe lazy init
- spaCy/langdetect model caches are protected by class-level locks
- ONNX Runtime sessions are thread-safe by design
- All instance methods are reentrant; no mutable shared state after init

CRITICAL: Local-Only Model Loading
---------------------------------
This module does NOT support automatic HuggingFace downloads. All models
must be pre-downloaded to the local filesystem using:
python -m nlproxy download_models.py
Expected directory structure:
models/
├── all-MiniLM-L6-v2/
│ ├── model.onnx # ONNX format (preferred)
│ ├── config.json
│ ├── tokenizer.json
│ └── ...
└── {other-model}/
└── ...
Key Features
------------
- Multilingual support: Auto-detects or accepts explicit language codes
- Backend flexibility: ONNX Runtime (production) or PyTorch (development)
- FP16 optimization: Optional half-precision inference on CUDA devices
- Async support: Non-blocking inference via asyncio.to_thread()
- Caching: Per-language PySBD segmenters cached at instance level
Mathematical Foundations
------------------------
1. Embedding Normalization (L2):
Given raw embedding v ∈ ℝᵈ:
||v||₂ = √(Σᵢ vᵢ²)
v̂ = v / (||v||₂ + ε) where ε = 1e-9 for numerical stability
Properties:
- ||v̂||₂ = 1 (unit norm)
- sim(u, v) = u · v = cos(θ) where θ = angle between vectors
2. Mean Pooling for Sentence Embeddings:
Given token embeddings T = [t₁, t₂, ..., tₖ] ∈ ℝᵏˣᵈ:
v = (1/k) Σᵢ tᵢ ∈ ℝᵈ
Alternative: Attention-weighted pooling (not implemented; future extension)
3. Batch Processing Efficiency:
For batch size B and sequence length L:
Time: O(B · L · d²) for transformer forward pass
Memory: O(B · L · d) for activations + gradients (training only)
Practical guidance:
- Use batch_size=32-128 for optimal GPU utilization
- Truncate sequences to max_seq_length=512 for MiniLM compatibility

Performance Notes
-----------------
- Model loading is deferred until first inference call (lazy initialization)
- FP16 mode reduces memory by ~50% with <1% accuracy loss on STS benchmarks
- Warm-up inference call eliminates first-call JIT compilation overhead

>>> print(f"Generated {len(sentences)} embeddings of shape {embeddings.shape}")
>>> # Async usage (non-blocking)
>>> sentences, embeddings = await segmenter.segment_and_encode_async(text)

Asynchronous version of encode_batch (non-blocking event loop).
Parameters
----------
sentences : List[str]
List of sentences to encode.
normalize : bool, optional
Apply L2 normalization (default: True).
Returns
-------
np.ndarray
Embedding array.
Note
----
Uses asyncio.to_thread() to offload CPU-bound inference to worker thread.
Does not provide true parallelism but prevents event loop blocking.

Parameters
----------
text : str
Input text to process.
Returns
-------
Tuple[List[str], np.ndarray]

Note

- Sentence segmentation is synchronous (fast, CPU-bound)
- Embedding generation is offloaded via encode_batch_async
- Suitable for high-concurrency async applications
