What is dragon-plus-query-encoder?
DRAGON+ is an advanced BERT-based dense retriever model that builds upon the RetroMAE architecture. It's specifically designed for query encoding in information retrieval tasks, achieving impressive performance scores of 39.0 on MARCO Dev and 47.4 on BEIR benchmarks. The model employs an asymmetric dual encoder architecture with separate parameterization for query and context encoding.
Implementation Details
The model is implemented using the Transformers library and utilizes a sophisticated architecture that processes queries and contexts separately. It generates dense vector representations of text, optimized for similarity matching in retrieval tasks.
