Colpali
Overview :
ColPali is an efficient document retrieval tool based on visual language models, simplifying the retrieval process by directly embedding images of document pages. Leveraging the latest visual language model technology, particularly the PaliGemma model, ColPali improves retrieval performance through late interaction mechanisms for multi-vector retrieval. This technology not only accelerates indexing speed and reduces query latency, but also excels in retrieving documents containing visual elements such as charts, tables, and images. ColPali introduces a new paradigm of 'visual space retrieval' in the field of document retrieval, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of information retrieval.
Target Users :
ColPali is designed for researchers, data scientists, and developers who need to manage large volumes of documents and perform efficient information retrieval. It is particularly suitable for users who need to understand and retrieve documents rich in visual elements, such as charts, tables, and images. The efficiency and accuracy of ColPali make it an ideal choice for document retrieval in academic research and commercial applications.
Use Cases
Researchers use ColPali to retrieve specific charts and data from scientific papers.
Data scientists utilize ColPali to quickly find key information from a large number of reports.
Developers integrate ColPali into their applications to provide more accurate document search functionalities.
Features
Directly handle document page images using visual language models to simplify the retrieval process.
Implement multi-vector retrieval through late interaction mechanisms to enhance performance.
Support training with queries and document image pairs extracted from visual question answering datasets.
Use the Claude Sonnet visual model to generate relevant queries, increasing the diversity of the training set.
Perform excellently in the ViDoRe benchmark tests, particularly in handling visually complex tasks.
Visualize the relationship between queries and documents to improve the interpretability of retrieval.
