Retrieval

Dense and BM25 retrieval in Milvus.

View clean Markdown

Each query produces two Milvus rankings:

  • dense COSINE search over DashScope embeddings;
  • native BM25 search over title and abstract text.

Milvus combines them with standard RRF. No ranking weights are configured. Area, paper type, and spotlight filters are applied to both requests.

The returned score is normalized to [0, 1] for ordering that query. It is not a probability and should not be compared across queries.
