Sparse, Dense, and Attentional Representations for Text Retrieval

AbstractDual encoders perform retrieval by encoding documents and queries into dense low-dimensional vectors, scoring each document by its inner product with the query. We investigate the capacity of this architecture relative to sparse bag-of-words models and attentional neural netw...
