MTEB: Massive Text Embedding Benchmark

Project mention: AI for AWS Documentation | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-06

RAG is very difficult to do right. I am experimenting with various RAG projects from [1]. The main problems are:
- Chunking can interfer with context boundaries
- Content vectors can differ vastly from question vectors, for this you have to use hypothetical embeddings (they generate artificial questions and store them)
- Instead of saving just one embedding per text-chuck you should store various (text chunk, hypothetical embedding questions, meta data)
- RAG will miserably fail with requests like "summarize the whole document"
- to my knowledge, openAI embeddings aren't performing well, use a embedding that is optimized for question answering or information retrieval and supports multi language. Also look into instructor embeddings: https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb
