Matryoshka Hash Representations for Model-Aware Compact Semantic Retrieval

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Matryoshka Hash Representations (MHR) propose a two‑stage quantization approach for retrieval‑augmented generation. First, a long binary code is learned; then, frozen, additional zero‑initialized residual adaptors are trained to produce searchable prefixes of varying byte budgets. Evaluated on MS MARCO and transferred to seven BEIR datasets, MHR achieves higher NDCG@10 and Recall@100 at 32‑byte budgets than baselines, especially in low‑budget regimes, and can also improve candidate shortlisting and graph‑index pruning.

Projection and Quantisation: A Unifying View of Learning to Hash, from Random Projections to the RAG Era

arXiv:2510. 04127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) search underpins large-scale retrieval, increasingly within the retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that ground large language models, yet the methods that address it have multiplied across communities until they are seldom read as a single field.

TurboVec: A Case Study in Cost-Efficient Private Retrieval for Enterprise RAG via Codebook-Oblivious Quantization

arXiv:2607. 16973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems increasingly power enterprise LLM applications, yet the vector retrieval layer introduces two underexplored challenges: (1) trained codebook quantizers may expose corpus statistics during index construction, creating a leakage channel in multi-tenant deployments, and (2) post-hoc filtering for tenant isolation degrades recall on selective queries.

MediaWiki Code2Code Search: Neural Retrieval for the Semantic Discovery of Open-Source Software Entities

Code search in large-scale ecosystems is often hindered by the lexical gap between user queries and implementation details, alongside the trade-off between the low latency of traditional Information Retrieval (IR) and the precision of Deep Learning (DL). We present MediaWiki Code2Code Search, a neural retrieval system for semantic code-to-code discovery.
