Embeddings can help retrieve useful passages

An original search experiment can compare a reader’s question with article passages. Rank candidates, inspect the first results, and check whether the system finds the passage that actually answers the question.

Similarity is different from truth

Embedding similarity is not the same as truth or exact keyword matching. Closely related passages may disagree, and a relevant-looking result may not contain the required fact.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Inspect relevance before generating answers.
