Geodesic Distance Metrics Enhance Zero-Shot Performance in Dense Passage Retrieval

This report synthesises findings from 11 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How does integrating geodesic distance metrics into dense passage retrieval affect zero-shot performance on the BEIR benchmark compared to standard cosine similarity. In the last few years, the deep learning (DL) computing paradigm has been deemed the Gold Standard in the machine learning (ML) community. Moreover, it has gradually become the most widely used computational approach in the field of ML, thus achieving outstanding results on. 8 claims were extracted from source literature; 8 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 8.2/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
