Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface lightonai/pylate, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

- highreadme#1Add a disambiguation statement to the README's opening
Why:
CURRENTPyLate is a library built on top of Sentence Transformers, designed to simplify and optimize fine-tuning, inference, and retrieval with state-of-the-art ColBERT models. It enables easy fine-tuning on both single and multiple GPUs, providing flexibility for various hardware setups. PyLate also streamlines document retrieval and allows you to load a wide range of models, enabling you to construct ColBERT models from most pre-trained language models.
COPY-PASTE FIXPyLate is a library for Late Interaction Models (like ColBERT) for information retrieval, *not* a LaTeX generation tool. Built on top of Sentence Transformers, PyLate is designed to simplify and optimize fine-tuning, inference, and retrieval with state-of-the-art ColBERT models. It enables easy fine-tuning on both single and multiple GPUs, providing flexibility for various hardware setups. PyLate also streamlines document retrieval and allows you to load a wide range of models, enabling you to construct ColBERT models from most pre-trained language models.
- mediumreadme#2Refine the README's main heading and tagline
Why:
CURRENT<h1>PyLate</h1> <p>Flexible Training and Retrieval for Late Interaction Models</p>
COPY-PASTE FIX<h1>PyLate: Flexible Training & Retrieval for ColBERT and Late Interaction Models</h1> <p>Optimize fine-tuning, inference, and retrieval for state-of-the-art dense retrieval models like ColBERT, built on Sentence Transformers.</p>
- lowtopics#3Add more specific topics to reinforce the domain
Why:
CURRENTcolbert, information-retrieval, language-model, rag
COPY-PASTE FIXcolbert, information-retrieval, language-model, rag, dense-retrieval, late-interaction, neural-search, sentence-transformers
