At this year's Berlin Buzzwords, join Evgeniya Sukhodolskaya as she presents miniCOIL—a novel approach to creating a sparse neural retrieval model. This model aims to combine the advantages of dense and lexical retrieval methods while avoiding their drawbacks. Evgeniya will explain how to design and train a lightweight model that performs well on out-of-domain data and will demonstrate its capabilities.

miniCOIL: Sparse Neural Retrieval Done Right
Production search solutions often need the benefits of exact matching and semantic similarity — who wouldn’t want to have it all? The most famous to-go approach is hybrid search, which combines old but gold lexical methods with dense retrieval models. Hybrid search is famous for a reason; however, due to its dual component nature, taking the best of both worlds, it also takes the worst — propagates all the intricacies of vector search (heavy vectors, capricious indexes) and limitations of…
