| Challenge: | a new method for embedding text is developed for tasks that require specialized encoders . INSTRUCTOR is a single embedder that can generate text embeddables tailored to different tasks and domains based on instruction finetuning . |
| Approach: | They introduce a new method for computing text embeddings given task instructions . they first annotate instructions for 330 diverse tasks and train INSTRUCTOR on this multitask mixture . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on 70 embedding evaluation tasks with fewer parameters than the previous best model. |
