# BGE-M3
|
|
|
|
| 13 |
In this project, we introduce BGE-M3, which is distinguished for its versatility in Multi-Functionality, Multi-Linguality, and Multi-Granularity.
|
| 14 |
- Multi-Functionality: It can simultaneously perform the three common retrieval functionalities of embedding model: dense retrieval, multi-vector retrieval, and sparse retrieval.
|
| 15 |
- Multi-Linguality: It can support more than 100 working languages.
