We discuss the Information Retrieval publication "The Curse of Dense Low-Dimensional Information Retrieval for Large Index Sizes" by Nils Reimers and Iryna Gurevych, which explores how Dense Passage Retrieval performance degrades as the index size varies and how it compares to traditional sparse or keyword-based methods.
