Sparse Retrieval (BM25)

• —BM25Okapi Algorithm: Probabilistic ranking framework for keyword-based search
• —Custom Tokenization: Optimized for legal/financial documents with abbreviations (LLC, IPO, GAAP)
• —Hybrid Scoring: Combines sparse and dense retrieval with weighted fusion (0.3 sparse, 0.7 dense)
• —Persistent Indices: Pre-calculated BM25 indices saved to disk for fast loading

3. 3.Caches loaded models in memory for reuse

Benefits

• —⚡ Faster startup: No download delays on Streamlit Cloud
• —💾 Offline capable: Works without internet for model loading
• —🔄 Version control: Models are versioned with your code
• —🚀 Consistent performance: Same model versions across deployments

Option 3: Local Development

# Install dependencies (automatically creates virtual environment)
uv sync

# Run with hot reload for development
uv run streamlit run app/main.py --server.runOnSave true

uv add <package-name>

# Update dependencies
uv lock --upgrade

💡 Usage Tips

For Best Results

1. 1.Organize Documents: Use logical folder structures
