Recently, I completed a RAG system project, and I want to use the three retrieval methods in bge-m3. However, currently, when using BGEM3FlagModel () to load the model, errors will be reported when using faiss to embed the vector, while no errors will be reported when using sentencetransformer () to load the model. However, the return_dense and return_sparse properties are not available. Whether the bge-m3 sparse vector cannot be embedded using faiss?
