Researchers have developed EigenLI, a novel framework that approximates late-interaction models by identifying and utilizing a document's intrinsic low-rank structure. This spectral approximation method compresses representations into low-dimensional subspaces, significantly reducing indexing costs and storage footprints while preserving retrieval signal. EigenLI demonstrates superior performance compared to clustering-based pooling methods on models like ColBERTv2 and AnswerAI-ColBERT-small, and also introduces EigenLI-SV for ANN-compatible single-vector representations that outperform existing surrogates.
