Embedding Model Selection: Choosing the Right Model for Your RAG System

Introduction: Choosing the right embedding model is critical for RAG systems, semantic search, and similarity applications. The wrong choice leads to poor retrieval quality, high costs, or unacceptable latency. OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small is cheap and fast but may miss nuanced similarities. Cohere’s embed-v3 excels at multilingual content. Open-source models like BGE and E5 offer privacy and […]

Hybrid Search Strategies: Combining Keyword and Semantic Search for Superior Retrieval

Introduction: Neither keyword search nor semantic search is perfect alone. Keyword search excels at exact matches and specific terms but misses semantic relationships. Semantic search understands meaning but can miss exact phrases and rare terms. Hybrid search combines both approaches, leveraging the strengths of each to deliver superior retrieval quality. This guide covers practical hybrid […]

Semantic Search Optimization: Building High-Quality Retrieval Systems

Introduction: Semantic search goes beyond keyword matching to understand the meaning and intent behind queries. By converting text to dense vector embeddings, semantic search finds conceptually similar content even when exact words don’t match. However, naive implementations often underperform—poor embedding choices, suboptimal indexing, and lack of reranking lead to irrelevant results. This guide covers practical […]
