Lore-Bge3: Logic-ORiented Retriever Enhancement for BGE-M3

This model is a fine-tuned version of BAAI/bge-m3 using the LORE (Logic-ORiented Retriever Enhancement) method. It significantly improves retrieval performance for complex logical expressions and queries.

LORE Method Overview

LORE is a novel embedding enhancement method that improves retrieval performance through fine-grained contrastive learning:

• Three-tier Contrastive Learning: Fine-grained sample classification with P (Positive), N1 (Distractor), and N2 (Negative) samples
• Dual Encoder Architecture: Frozen document encoder M_d and trainable query encoder M_q
• InfoNCE-based Loss: Differentiated weights for hierarchical separation P ≻ N1 ≻ N2
• Query Rewriting: LLM-assisted dataset construction with discourse relations from Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST)
• No External Dependencies: Requires no external supervision, resources, or pre-retrieval analysis

Key Improvements

• Enhanced Logical Reasoning: Improved ability to handle complex logical expressions in queries
• Fine-grained Discrimination: Better distinction between relevant content and distractors
• Maintained Efficiency: Preserves the computational efficiency of the original model
