**TLDR:** An approach that learns semantic representations by bringing similar texts closer and pushing dissimilar texts apart in vector space.

<p>Contrastive embedding learning sits at the heart of semantic similarity and retrieval systems. The model is trained to produce discriminative representations through positive and negative example pairs. It makes a major difference in sentence embeddings, dual-encoder retrieval, and semantic search systems. The quality of negative sample selection is a decisive factor in its success.</p>
