Dense Retrieval vs. Keyword Search
This demo compares Sparse Retrieval (Keywords) with Dense Retrieval (Vectors).
In traditional search, you must hit the exact words. in Dense Retrieval, AI maps meanings to a "Semantic Space". Close points mean similar meanings.
Choose a Search Query:
Current Query: ...
Traditional Keyword Search
Matching exact words. If the user doesn't type the exact keyword, it fails.
Dense Retrieval (Vector Space)
SEMANTIC SPACE
Mapping the query to a coordinate. It finds the "nearest neighbor" meaning, even without shared words.
