Spark NLP 5.3.3: Patch release

---

🔥 New Features & Enhancements

• NEW: Introducing UAEEmbeddings for sentence embeddings using Universal AnglE Embedding, aimed at improving semantic textual similarity tasks.

UAE is a novel angle-optimized text embedding model, designed to improve semantic textual similarity tasks, which are crucial for Large Language Model (LLM) applications. By introducing angle optimization in a complex space, AnglE effectively mitigates saturation of the cosine similarity function. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.12871.pdf

🔥 The universal English sentence embedding WhereIsAI/UAE-Large-V1 achieves SOTA on the MTEB Leaderboard with an average score of 64.64!

• Introduce critical enhancements and optimizations to the processing of the CoNLL-U format for Dependency Parsers training, including enhanced multiword token handling and improved handling of missing uPos values
• Implement cache mechanism for metadata.json, enhancing efficiency by avoiding unnecessary downloads
• Add example notebook for DocumentCharacterTextSplitter
• Add example notebook for DeBertaForZeroShotClassification
• Add example notebooks for BGEEmbeddings and MPNetEmbeddings
• Add example notebook for MPNetForQuestionAnswering
• Add example notebook for MPNetForSequenceClassification
