## Model Card

We introduce Dragon-multiturn, a retriever specifically designed for the conversational QA scenario. It can handle conversational query which combine dialogue history with the current query. It is built on top of the Dragon retriever. The details of Dragon-multiturn can be found in here. Please note that Dragon-multiturn is a dual encoder consisting of a query encoder and a context encoder. This repository is only for the context encoder of Dragon-multiturn for getting the context embeddings, and you also need the query encoder to get query embeddings, which can be found here. Both query encoder and context encoder share the same tokenizer. Retrieval results across five multi-turn QA…

FlagEmbedding focuses on retrieval-augmented LLMs, consisting of the following projects currently: - 1/30/2024: Release BGE-M3, a new member to BGE model series! M3 stands for Multi-linguality (100+ languages), Multi-granularities (input length up to 8192), Multi-Functionality (unification of dense, lexical, multi-vec/colbert retrieval). It is the first embedding model which supports all three retrieval methods, achieving new SOTA on multi-lingual (MIRACL) and cross-lingual (MKQA) benchmarks. Technical…

Note: This model does not have a tokenizer as it was pretrained on audio alone. In order to use this model speech recognition, a tokenizer should be created and the model should be fine-tuned on labeled text data.
