Original abstract
Long-context retrieval exposes a tension: single-vector embeddings lose fine-grained detail, while token-level multi-vector methods incur prohibitive storage. We propose Multi-Prefix Embedding (MPE), which partitions a document into chunks separated by EOS tokens, encodes the full sequence in a single causal forward pass, and extracts one embedding at each prefix boundary. MPE retains cross-chunk context, enables chunk-level MaxSim matching, and trains with only document-level relevance labels. Experiments on MLDR-en, BrowseComp-Plus, and LongEmbed show that MPE is competitive with or outperforms single-vector, independent-chunk, and multi-vector baselines, while providing a natural source attribution mechanism for locating evidence chunks.
