How big is a medium sized corpus? 10m documents?

• raphaelty 5y ago
  I think 10 million documents is a large corpus. A retriever like Sklearn TfIdf will have a hard time handling it in a reasonable time. The main goal of Cherche is to prototype a neural search engine quickly and with a large choice of retrievers and rankers for corpus sizes < 1 million documents which is a common use case in the industry. Search implements a wrapper of the Python ElasticSearch client that is scalable and dedicated to corpora composed of tens of millions of documents.
