Chunking Large Documents via Ingest pipelines plus nested vectors equals easy passage search

In this post we'll show how to easily ingest large documents and break them up into sentences via an ingest pipeline so that they can be text embedded along with nested vector support for searching large documents semantically. Generated image of a chonker.

How to get the best of lexical and AI-powered search with Elastic’s vector database

Elastic has all you should expect from a vector database — and much more! You get the best of both worlds: traditional lexical and AI-powered search, including semantic search out of the box with Elastic’s novel Learned Sparse Encoder model.

Accessing machine learning models in Elastic

Bring your own transformer models into Elastic to use optimized embedding models and NLP, or integrate with third-party transformer modes such as OpenAI GPT-4 via APIs to leverage more accurate, business-specific content based on private data stores.

Introducing Elastic Learned Sparse Encoder: Elastic’s AI model for semantic search

Elastic Learned Sparse Encoder is an AI model for high relevance semantic search across domains. As a sparse vector model, it expands the query with terms that don't exist in the query itself, delivering superior relevance without domain adaptation.

Multilingual vector search with the E5 embedding model

In this post we'll introduce multilingual vector search. We'll use the Microsoft E5 multilingual embedding model, which has state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot and multilingual settings. We'll walk through how multilingual embeddings work in general and then how to use E5 in Elasticsearch.
