To MRL or not to MRL: Text Embeddings are Robust to Truncation Without Matryoshka Learning, Except In Heavy Truncation Scenarios

Sotaro Takeshita, Yurina Takeshita, Simone Paolo Ponzetto +1

Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) is a widely adopted approach for training text encoders so they provide useful text representations at various sizes, available by simply t…
