Vector search is not always the answer.A 30-year-old algorithm with zero training, zero embeddings, and zero fine-tuning still powers Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and most production search systems today.It's called BM25, and it's worth understanding why it refuses to die.Let's say you're searching for "transformer attention mechanism" in a library of ML papers.BM25 scores documents using three core ideas:1) Word rarity matters more than word frequencyEvery paper contains "the" and "is" so those words carry n ...

14) Use momentumIn gradient descent, every parameter update solely depends on the current gradient. This leads to unwanted oscillations during optimization.Momentum reduces this by adding a weighted average of previous gradient updates to the update rule.Check this 👇 https://t.co/77X9rwRyOF ...
