Marqo Ecommerce Embedding Models

In this work, we introduce two state-of-the-art embedding models for ecommerce products: Marqo-Ecommerce-B and Marqo-Ecommerce-L.

The benchmarking results show that the Marqo-Ecommerce models consistently outperformed all other models across various metrics. Specifically, marqo-ecommerce-L achieved an average improvement of 17.6% in MRR and 20.5% in nDCG@10 when compared with the current best open source model, ViT-SO400M-14-SigLIP across all three tasks in the marqo-ecommerce-hard dataset. When compared with the best private model, Amazon-Titan-Multimodal, we saw an average improvement of 38.9% in MRR and 45.1% in nDCG@10 across all three tasks, and 35.9% in Recall across the Text-to-Image tasks in the marqo-ecommerce-hard dataset.

More benchmarking results can be found below.

Detailed Performance

Our benchmarking process was divided into two distinct regimes, each using different datasets of ecommerce product listings: marqo-ecommerce-hard and marqo-ecommerce-easy. Both datasets contained product images and text and only differed in size. The "easy" dataset is approximately 10-30 times smaller (200k vs 4M products), and designed to accommodate rate-limited models, specifically Cohere-Embeddings-v3 and GCP-Vertex (with limits of 0.66 rps and 2 rps respectively). The "hard" dataset represents the true challenge, since it contains four million ecommerce product listings and is more representative of real-world ecommerce search scenarios.

Within both these scenarios, the models were benchmarked against three different tasks:

Google Shopping Text-to-Image
Google Shopping Category-to-Image
Amazon Products Text-to-Image

Marqo-Ecommerce-Easy

As mentioned, our benchmarking process was divided into two distinct scenarios: marqo-ecommerce-hard and marqo-ecommerce-easy. This section covers the latter which features a corpus 10-30 times smaller and was designed to accommodate rate-limited models. We will look into the comprehensive evaluation conducted using the full 200k products across the two datasets. In addition to the models already benchmarked above, these benchmarks also include Cohere-embedding-v3 and GCP-Vertex.
