Timeline
Timeline axis is valid_time — when each source says the fact was true in the world, not when Dontopedia learned about it. Retracted rows are kept for provenance; coloured stripes indicate the context kind.

Finally, you can combine the results from both sparse and dense retrievals. One common approach is to use a weighted sum of the scores from both methods. Here's a more complete example: ```python import numpy as np from sklearn.feature_ex…
