Very nice paper https://lnkd.in/eyfhuyAi from Metarank Labs
Similar to Vespa papers, Metarank papers are based on hard benchmark figures, which is the best/only way to understand facts.
— Summary —
> BM25 was a tough contender 2 years ago, when the BEIR benchmark and SBERT models reigned supreme.
(Probably explaining why Elasticsearch is now fully commited to vector search)
> Nowadays, new MTEB benchmark https://lnkd.in/exGBk3ND is dominared by new models like Microsoft E5.
The trend is that keeping your current vector search and waiting for model embeddings improvement is a winning strategy !
WPSOLR + WooCommerce + Weaviate + SBERT embeddings (waiting for E5?): https://wpsolr.com
