This model is to reproduce a variant of TCT-ColBERT-V2 dense retrieval models described in the following paper:

> Sheng-Chieh Lin, Jheng-Hong Yang, and Jimmy Lin. [In-Batch Negatives for Knowledge Distillation with Tightly-CoupledTeachers for Dense Retrieval.](https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~jimmylin/publications/Lin_etal_2021_RepL4NLP.pdf) _RepL4NLP 2021_.

You can find our reproduction report in Pyserini [here](https://github.com/castorini/pyserini/blob/master/docs/experiments-tct_colbert-v2.md).
