Meta Open-Sources MetaEncoder, a Unified Multimodal Encoder for Retrieval

Meta open-sourced MetaEncoder, a unified multimodal encoder covering text, image and video that claims SOTA on multiple retrieval benchmarks. The system scores candidates via natural language task descriptions, and the paper explores the limits of bi-encoders for low-latency decision-making.
