| ## Model Description | |
| This model was trained as part of a Bachelor's thesis evaluating and comparing different retrieval architectures, specifically ColBERT, Cross-Encoders, and Bi-Encoders. The primary focus of this work was to assess retrieval effectiveness in a German-language information retrieval setting. | |
| Intended Use | |
| The model is intended for research and experimentation in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). It can be used to analyze retrieval quality in contrast to other architectures or as a reference for future work on ColBERT in German. | |
| Limitations & Warnings | |
| ## ⚠ Not for Production Use | |
| This model is experimental and has not been optimized for production use. Performance, robustness, and scalability considerations have not been fully addressed, and real-world deployment is strongly discouraged. | |
