It sounds nice. How do you evaluate the performance of your way against usual embedding?

By assuming "usual embedding" meaning using the default model, which generally is "all-MiniLM-L6-v2", I used MixedBread's embedding model because of this [^1].

You can evaluate how well a model is doing by subjectively going through some search results for papers you have a good grasp on. Another way I look at is to see the 2D "maps" of the embeddings and how well these are segregated, see [^2].
