## Efficient SPLADE 

Efficient SPLADE model for passage retrieval. This architecture uses two distinct models for query and document inference. This is the **doc** one, please also download the **query** one (https://huggingface.co/naver/efficient-splade-V-large-query). For additional details, please visit:
