What is Dense Retrieval?
A retrieval method that uses dense vector embeddings, enabling semantic search and advanced contextual retrieval.
More about Dense Retrieval:
Dense Retrieval uses dense vector embeddings to match queries with documents based on semantic similarity, rather than relying on exact term matching. Models like bi-encoders and cross-encoders are often employed to create these embeddings.
Dense retrieval is a key component in systems like RAG and semantic search, providing superior accuracy in understanding user intent and delivering relevant results.
