Combining dense vector embeddings with sparse representations in a single unified model. Captures both semantic meaning (dense) and exact term matching (sparse) for superior retrieval performance.

Experimental sparse embedding approach combining exact keyword search with transformer intelligence, integrating sparse and dense vector searches for improved RAG results, developed by Qdrant.

Efficient multi-vector retrieval system using sparsified late interaction with inverted indexes. Achieves 40% less storage and 83% lower latency than ColBERT-v2 while maintaining competitive accuracy.
