Natural Language Processing
Dense Retrieval
Natural Language Processing· Intermediate
Definition
A retrieval paradigm that represents both queries and documents as dense vector embeddings, retrieving documents by nearest-neighbor search in embedding space. Captures semantic similarity that keyword-based methods miss — queries and documents can match conceptually without sharing exact terms.
Enterprise Context
Foundation of modern enterprise semantic search. Enables staff to find relevant documents using natural language questions rather than exact keyword strings.
