TaskConfig

Kotlin |Java

public sealed class TaskConfig

Known direct subclasses

`TaskConfig.Classification`	Task type for classification tasks.
`TaskConfig.Clustering`	Task type for clustering tasks.
`TaskConfig.CodeRetrieval`	Task type for retrieving code blocks based on a natural language query.
`TaskConfig.FactVerification`	Task type for statements that need to be verified.
`TaskConfig.QuestionAnswering`	Task type for questions in a question-answering system.
`TaskConfig.RetrievalDocument`	Task type for documents to be indexed or retrieved.
`TaskConfig.RetrievalQuery`	Task type for general search queries.
`TaskConfig.SemanticSimilarity`	Task type for assessing text similarity.

Defines the available task configurations for the embedding model.

Different task types influence how the model generates embeddings, often by formatting the input to optimize for the target use case:

Asymmetric retrieval tasks: Use RetrievalQuery, QuestionAnswering, FactVerification, or CodeRetrieval when embedding queries, and pair them with RetrievalDocument when embedding the corpus documents to be searched.
Symmetric tasks: Use the same task type (SemanticSimilarity, Classification, or Clustering) for all inputs being compared or grouped.
