New methods boost visual document retrieval efficiency

Two new research papers propose methods to improve the efficiency of late-interaction visual document retrieval systems. The first paper introduces Generative Late-Interaction Embeddings (GLIE), which uses a small set of learned vectors to regenerate full embedding sets on demand, significantly reducing storage requirements while maintaining high accuracy. The second paper focuses on query-aware token budgeting, suggesting that dynamically allocating retrieval resources based on the query can recover a higher percentage of the full-token score compared to static pooling methods. Both approaches aim to make large-scale deployment of visual document retrieval more cost-effective. AI

IMPACT These methods could significantly reduce the computational and storage costs associated with large-scale visual document retrieval systems.

    Generative Late-Interaction Embeddings For Visual Document Retrieval

    Late-interaction retrieval is the state-of-the-art for visual document search, but it pays for its accuracy in storage. Existing compression methods retain a subset or local average of the N~1,000 vectors per page. Under aggressive storage budgets, however, these methods degrade …

    Generative Late-Interaction Embeddings For Visual Document Retrieval

    Generative Late-Interaction Embeddings compress visual document retrieval vectors by learning a small basis set that regenerates full embeddings on demand, improving accuracy under tight storage limits without retraining the encoder.
