Multi-Vector Embeddings Provably More Expressive Than Single Vector Embeddings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper published on arXiv introduces the concept of Multi-Vector (MV) embeddings as a more expressive paradigm for neural information retrieval compared to Single Vector (SV) embeddings. The research formally proves that MV embeddings, which represent data with multiple vectors and use Chamfer similarity, offer a significant advantage over SV embeddings that rely on inner product similarity. The findings establish a strong separation in representation size, confirming the long-held belief within the Information Retrieval community that MV embeddings can capture similarities not approximately representable by SV embeddings.

    Multi-Vector Embeddings are Provably More Expressive than Single Vector Embeddings

    Multi-vector (MV) embeddings have become a powerful paradigm in neural information retrieval (IR), achieving high retrieval accuracy by representing data with multiple vectors and scoring them via the non-linear Chamfer similarity. Despite their widely perceived superiority over …
