Pipeline notes

The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

Tutorial from Hugging Face on using multi-vector (late interaction) embedding models with the sentence-transformers library. Covers loading checkpoint formats, encoding and scoring with MaxSim, integrating into search stacks, visual document retrieval from page images, and managing index size. Runs with a single pip install.

Concrete, code-level walkthrough of late-interaction retrieval from the library maintainers — useful for anyone building RAG pipelines, especially over page images where this approach is state of the art.
