• Abstract: Multimodal vector search offers a new paradigm for information retrieval by exposing numerous pieces of functionality which are not possible in traditional lexical search engines. While multimodal vector search can be treated as a drop in replacement for these traditional systems, the experience can be significantly enhanced by leveraging the unique capabilities of multimodal search. Central to any information retrieval system is a user who expresses an information need, traditional user interfaces with a single search bar allow users to interact with lexical search systems effectively however are not necessarily optimal for multimodal vector search. In this paper we explore novel capabilities of multimodal vector search applications utilising CLIP models and present implementations and design patterns which better allow users to express their information needs and effectively interact with these systems in an information retrieval context.

  This paper introduces techniques for advancing information retrieval with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) We first study fine-tuning an MLLM as a bi-encoder retriever on 10 datasets with 16 retrieval tasks. We propose modality-aware hard negative mining to mitigate the modality bias exhibited by MLLM retrievers.

  We present an interactive Multi-modal Query Answering (MQA) system, empowered by our newly developed multi-modal retrieval framework and navigation graph index. One notable aspect of MQA is its utilization of contrastive learning to assess the significance of different modalities. The system achieves efficient retrieval through our advanced navigation graph index, refined using computational pruning techniques.

  We propose a parameter-efficient prompt-tuning method named DialCLIP for multi-modal dialog retrieval. Our approach introduces a multi-modal context generator to learn context features which are distilled into prompts within the pre-trained vision-language model CLIP. To facilitate various types of retrieval, we also design multiple experts to learn mappings from CLIP outputs to multi-modal representation space.

  We introduce a novel conceptual framework called large search model, which redefines the conventional search stack by unifying search tasks with one large language model (LLM) All tasks are formulated as autoregressive text generation problems, allowing for the customization of tasks through the use of natural language prompts. This proposed framework capitalizes on the strong language understanding and reasoning capabilities of LLMs, offering the potential to enhance search result quality while simultaneously simplifying the existing cumbersome search stack.
