+# GIRCSE: Generative Iterative Refinement for Contrastive Sentence Embeddings
+
+**GIRCSE** is a novel generative embedding framework that transforms Large Language Models (LLMs) into text encoders by leveraging their autoregressive generative capabilities. Unlike traditional encoder-only embeddings, GIRCSE generates a sequence of **"soft refinement tokens"** and utilizes an **Iterative Contrastive Refinement (ICR)** objective to progressively distill semantics into high-quality embeddings.
+
+## Model Details
+
+### Model Description
+
+GIRCSE addresses the limitations of static LLM-based embeddings by treating the representation learning process as an iterative refinement task. 
+
+- **Key Innovation:** Instead of a single forward pass, the model generates $k$ auxiliary soft tokens. These tokens capture latent concepts and implicit semantics (e.g., task-specific instructions) that are often missed by standard pooling methods.
+- **Iterative Contrastive Refinement (ICR):** A stepwise objective that ensures each additional generated token monotonically improves the embedding quality.
+- **Test-time Scaling:** An emergent property where generating more tokens at inference time (e.g., 5 to 20 tokens) leads to better performance on downstream tasks, analogous to "Chain-of-Thought" for embeddings.
+
+- **Developed by:** [Yu-Che (Roy) Tsai](https://github.com/Roytsai27), et al.
+- **Model type:** Generative Text Embedding (based on Decoder-only LLM)
+- **Language(s) (NLP):** English
+- **License:** Apache 2.0
+- **Finetuned from model:** [Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B](Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B)
+
+### Model Sources

+- **Repository:** [Roytsai27/GIRCSE](https://github.com/Roytsai27/GIRCSE)
+- **Paper:** [Let LLMs Speak Embedding Languages: Generative Text Embeddings via Iterative Contrastive Refinement](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.24291)
+
+## Training Details
+
+### Training Data
+
+The model was trained on a curated mix of contrastive datasets (e.g., MS-MARCO, NLI) totaling approximately 200K samples.
+
+### Training Procedure
+
+* **Method:** LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
+* **Objective:** Iterative Contrastive Refinement (ICR) with Stepwise Contrastive Loss.
+* **Steps:** 5 refinement steps were used during training.
+* **Framework:** PEFT 0.15.2 + Transformers.
