摘要

Pairwise text data are essential for pretraining retrieval models. In this work, we propose SDSP (Scalable and Diverse Synthetic Pairwise text generation method), an automatic method to generate scalable and diverse pairwise texts from web corpus data without manual annotation empowered by LLM. First, for text types with limited samples, we build a hierarchical topic creation method to achieve sample set expansion in an iterative way. Second, we propose a multi-task guided diverse data generation scheme to achieve reasonable and controllable high-quality pairwise text generation. Based on an 100M synthetic dataset, an embedding model can be trained to achieve 1.6% and 6.1% performance improvement on MTEB retrieval and STS tasks.
