Table of contents

Pinecone sparse-dense vectors allow keyword-aware semantic search

Sparse-Dense Workflow

Sparse and dense vectors in Pinecone

Create sparse vector embeddings

ℹ️Note

Pinecone creates sparse dense vectors from your sparse and dense embeddings

The p1 and s1 indexes support sparse-dense vectors using the "dotproduct" distance metric

Sparse-dense queries include both sparse and dense vector values

Sparse-dense vector format

Sparse-dense queries do not support explicit weighting <
