Prompt for doc?

#1
by ChanningDai - opened

Hi, thanks for the release!

I noticed that there is a special prompt for the query ("Represent the query for retrieving supporting documents: "). Does the doc also require one?

It's likely to be "Represent the document for retrieval: ". Got it from MangoDB API doc.

I would also be interested in this but maybe, you are right, I tried to reproduce some of the spreadsheet results and with this this document prompt I get comparable results on most tasks besides FinQARetrieval where the score is 2.5% slower. Where is the document page that you found?
