AI Models & Technologies

Bi-encoders encode queries and documents independently into embeddings, enabling fast vector similarity search, while cross-encoders jointly encode the query and document to compute a more accurate relevance score. In AI search, bi-encoders power scalable candidate retrieval; cross-encoders (neural rerankers) refine top candidates for quality.
