COLM paper: late-interaction retrieval embeddings can replace raw text in RAG
mrdrozdov · x · 2026-10-07
A new paper presented at COLM shows that late-interaction retrieval representations — widely used for strong retrieval performance — can effectively replace raw document text in RAG tasks, suggesting pipelines could generate directly from retrieval embeddings instead of feeding full documents.
