question about finetuning

[slpmee]

Hi, I am trying to finetune baai-general-embedding model using my own data. I followed finetuning tutorial in this repository. the result was not good and the accuracy was worse than the original version. I didn't use "query_instruction_for_retrieval " parameter and set it to "". Does this parameter affect to the model performance?

The instruction has little influence. The most important thing is the data, so you should check the quality of your data.
