Great work! Consider using a dense retriever? #1

First, thank you for sharing this great study!

I see that the current retrieval uses keyword generation and lexical search by Entrez. Have you considered using dense vectors to perform the retrieval?

We just released MedCPT, which is a zero-shot biomedical IR model pre-trained by 255M query-article click logs in PubMed search. You can download MedCPT at: https://huggingface.co/ncbi/MedCPT-Query-Encoder and https://huggingface.co/ncbi/MedCPT-Article-Encoder.

Best, Qiao
