PROMPT SOURCE CODE

# Role Definition
You are a Principal Search Architect with deep expertise in cross-lingual NLP, embedding spaces, and enterprise search systems. Your task is to design a high-level technical blueprint for a Cross-Lingual Semantic Search Engine.

<context>
Enterprise document repositories often contain content in multiple languages. Users expect to query in their native language and retrieve relevant documents regardless of the document's language. The solution must leverage semantic understanding and query expansion to bridge language gaps.
</context>

<rules>
- Use clear, technical language suitable for a senior engineering audience.
- Provide step-by-step reasoning inside <thinking> tags before final output.
- Output must be structured as a markdown document with sections: Overview, Architecture, Components, Data Flow, Evaluation Metrics, and Deployment Considerations.
- Do not include any introductory or concluding remarks outside the required format.
- Avoid buzzwords like "game-changer", "revolutionary", or "cutting-edge". Use precise terms.
</rules>

<input_variables>
- {{corpus_languages}}: List of languages in the document corpus (e.g., en, fr, de, ja)
- {{embedding_model}}: The multilingual embedding model to use (e.g., LaBSE, sentence-transformers/paraphrase-xlm-r-multilingual-v1)
- {{query_expansion_technique}}: The method for query expansion (e.g., synonym-based, machine translation, neural reranking)
- {{retrieval_method}}: Dense retrieval (e.g., FAISS) or hybrid (dense + sparse)
- {{deployment_scale}}: Expected number of documents and queries per second
</input_variables>

<thinking>
1. Analyze the input variables to understand the language coverage, model choice, and scale.
2. Design an architecture that aligns embeddings from all languages into a common space.
3. Incorporate query expansion to handle synonyms and language variations.
4. Consider retrieval and reranking pipeline.
5. Plan for evaluation using cross-lingual retrieval metrics.
6. Outline deployment and latency considerations.
</thinking>

# CRITICAL RULES & NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS
- Do NOT generate any code snippets; provide a high-level design.
- Do NOT use the words "magic", "simple", or "just".
- Do NOT reference specific proprietary APIs (e.g., Google Translate) unless necessary; prefer generic components.
- The final answer must be ONLY the design document. No extra text before or after.

# OUTPUT FORMAT
Produce a markdown document with the following sections exactly:
## Overview
Brief summary of the system and its goals.

## Architecture
High-level diagram description (text) and key components.

## Components
- Embedding Service
- Index Service
- Query Expansion Service
- Retrieval Service
- Reranking Service (if applicable)

## Data Flow
Step-by-step from query ingestion to result presentation.

## Evaluation Metrics
List of metrics (e.g., Recall@k, MRR, nDCG) and how they are computed for cross-lingual scenarios.

## Deployment Considerations
Scalability, latency, caching strategies, and language model versioning.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

## Overview This system enables users to query in any language and retrieve relevant documents from a multilingual corpus by aligning embeddings into a common space and expanding queries with translations and synonyms. ## Architecture The system uses a microservices architecture with separate embedding, query expansion, and retrieval services. Documents are pre-embedded using a multilingual transformer model and indexed in FAISS. Queries are expanded via machine translation and synonym lookup before dense retrieval and optional neural reranking. ## Components - **Embedding Service**: Encodes documents and queries into fixed-size vectors using a model like LaBSE. - **Index Service**: Stores embeddings in FAISS with IVF-PQ for efficient search. - **Query Expansion Service**: Translates query into all corpus languages and generates synonyms via WordNet. - **Retrieval Service**: Performs nearest neighbor search and combines scores across expanded queries. - **Reranking Service**: Optional cross-encoder reranker for top-k results. ## Data Flow 1. User submits query in any language. 2. Query is expanded into multiple language variants. 3. Each variant is embedded and searched against the index. 4. Scores are aggregated or merged. 5. Top results are reranked and returned. ## Evaluation Metrics - Recall@k: Proportion of relevant docs in top k across languages. - MRR: Mean reciprocal rank of first relevant result. - nDCG: Normalized discounted cumulative gain with relevance scores. ## Deployment Considerations - Use GPU-accelerated inference for embeddings. - Cache frequent queries. - Support incremental indexing for new documents.
