vec2vec produces a functional translator from 50K embeddings (rank ≈ 3.9 vs. random 4096) and still achieves rank ≈ 1462 from only 10K embeddings, indicating data efficiency for cross-space embedding translation.

Summary

The vec2vec approach can learn a useful translation between two different embedding spaces with surprisingly little training data, performing far above random chance even when the training set is cut to a fifth of its size. This matters because it means the system can bridge incompatible vector spaces in settings where collecting large matched datasets is impractical or expensive.
