ColNanoVDR: Document-Free Query Distillation for Multi-Vector Visual Document Retrieval via Optimal Transport

Multi-vector retrievers built on vision-language models lead visual document retrieval (VDR), but they run a multi-billion-parameter query encoder on every search. Distilling this encoder into a small student that queries the teacher's existing index would remove the bottleneck. The standard recipe, however, matches th...

DistilVDR: A Compact End-to-End Visual Document Retriever via Dual-Student Distillation

This work presents DistilVDR, a 524M end-to-end VDR system distilled bilaterally from a single 8B vision-language teacher under a pointwise cosine alignment loss and matches VDR's text-query and image-document input asymmetry with an asymmetric encoder-only student that concentrates visual capacity on the document side...
