Your question is Evaluate a New Embedding Technique. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How would you approach the evaluation of a new embedding technique for a vector search application?
Explain how you would construct an evaluation dataset, select retrieval metrics, compare against a baseline, and analyze failures. Address both offline relevance evaluation and production considerations such as latency, index behavior, cost, and user impact. No application-specific metrics or business constraints are provided, so state your assumptions and explain which measurements you would require.
