Loading Pre-trained Models in Databricks

Hello talented members of the community,

I'm a very new Databricks user so please bear with me.

I'm building a description matcher which uses a pre-trained model (

universal-sentence-encoder). How can I load and use this model in my Databricks python notebook?
 
I have the zipped model downloaded in my local machine. It contains a .pb file and a variables folder.
 
Just to extend on this, what are the best practices for loading and using pre-trained models in Databricks?
 
Thank you for any help. Greatly appreciate it!
