Problem

Search quality on medical texts was poor with generic models.

Solution

Finetuned a multi‑vector encoder using Sentence Transformers, training it on domain data with custom loss and evaluation, achieving stronger token‑level matching.

Outperformed all general‑purpose retrievers

Research behind this, on AI Papers DailyReducing Representational Interference in Retrieval Embeddings with Trainable Prefix Tokens
