Improving information retrieval in the Elastic Stack: Hybrid retrieval

In this blog we introduce hybrid retrieval and explore two concrete implementations in Elasticsearch. We explore improving Elastic Learned Sparse Encoder’s performance by combining it with BM25 using Reciprocal Rank Fusion and Weighted Sum of Scores.

Improving information retrieval in the Elastic Stack: Benchmarking passage retrieval

In this blog post, we'll examine benchmark solutions to compare retrieval methods. We use a collection of data sets to benchmark BM25 against two dense models and illustrate the potential gain using fine-tuning strategies with one of those models.

Ready to build state of the art search experiences?

Sufficiently advanced search isn’t achieved with the efforts of one. Elasticsearch is powered by data scientists, ML ops, engineers, and many more who are just as passionate about search as you are. Let’s connect and work together to build the magical search experience that will get you the results you want.
