Primitive: /encode · Encode · DistilBERT

The model should be selected considering search relevance, model inference and retrieval efficiency(FLOPS). We benchmark models' zero-shot performance on a subset of BEIR benchmark: TrecCovid,NFCorpus,NQ,HotpotQA,FiQA,ArguAna,Touche,DBPedia,SCIDOCS,FEVER,Climate FEVER,SciFact,Quora.
