Beyond One Embedding per Page: Multi-Vector Retrieval for Visual Search

📰 Medium · RAG

Learn how multi-vector retrieval improves visual search for complex documents beyond single-vector embeddings

intermediate Published 6 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement multi-vector retrieval using libraries like Faiss or Annoy to improve search efficiency
  2. Configure your model to generate multiple embeddings per page to capture diverse visual features
  3. Test the performance of your multi-vector retrieval system using metrics like recall and precision
  4. Apply dimensionality reduction techniques to reduce the impact of high-dimensional vector spaces
  5. Compare the results of multi-vector retrieval with traditional single-vector embeddings to evaluate its effectiveness
Who Needs to Know This
