miniCOIL: Sparse Neural Retrieval Done Right
Talk
17. June 2025, 11:10 - 11:50
Kesselhaus
In this talk, we present miniCOIL — our attempt to make a sparse neural retrieval model as it should be — combining the benefits of dense and lexical retrieval without propagating their drawbacks. We will share how to design and train a lightweight model that is performant on out-of-domain data and demonstrate its capabilities.
