Hydra: Unifying Document Retrieval and Generation in a Single Vision-Language Model

1. 1Train a single vision-language model with a dual-head approach
2. 2Implement a LoRA adapter for retrieval tasks
3. 3Toggle the adapter at inference to switch between retrieval and generation modes
4. 4Evaluate the performance of Hydra on document retrieval and generation tasks

AI engineers and researchers on a team benefit from Hydra as it simplifies the architecture and reduces system complexity, while product managers can leverage this technology to improve document understanding capabilities

💡 Hydra's dual-head approach enables efficient and effective document understanding with reduced system complexity
