ColQwen2.5: Visual Retriever based on Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct with ColBERT strategy

ColQwen is a model based on a novel model architecture and training strategy based on Vision Language Models (VLMs) to efficiently index documents from their visual features. It is a Qwen2.5-VL-3B extension that generates ColBERT- style multi-vector representations of text and images. It was introduced in the paper ColPali: Efficient Document Retrieval with Vision Language Models and first released in this repository

This version is the untrained base version to guarantee deterministic projection layer initialization.

Usage

[!WARNING] This version should not be used: it is solely the base version useful for deterministic LoRA initialization.
