CORE: Improving Compositional Reasoning in MLLM Embedding via Reranker Distillation

Tingyu Song, Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang +5

MLLM-based embedding models remain limited in compositional retrieval, often failing to distinguish scenes containing the same concepts but different attribute-object bindings. Yet…

VisDocAgentBench: Benchmarking Agents for Visually Rich Document Retrieval

Lexiang Hu, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +5

Visually rich documents encode relevance through language, layout, structured visual elements, and corpus context, yet retrieval is typically evaluated by one-shot query--page matc…

UEmbed: Unified Sparse and Dense Multimodal Embeddings

Tingyu Song, Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang +5

Sparse retrieval underpins modern search systems, from web search to retrieval-augmented generation. Existing work has introduced Learned Sparse Retrieval (LSR) to push beyond exac…

CORE-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Code Retrieval in the Era of Agentic Coding

Fuwei Zhang, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +5

Code retrieval is becoming central to coding agents, but agentic coding requires more than matching a natural-language query to an isolated snippet. Given a user request, a coding…

LaSER: Internalizing Explicit Reasoning into Latent Space for Dense Retrieval

Jiajie Jin, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +4

LLMs have fundamentally transformed dense retrieval, upgrading backbones from discriminative encoders to generative architectures. However, a critical disconnect remains: while LLM…

DiffuRank: Effective Document Reranking with Diffusion Language Models

Qi Liu, Kun Ai, Jiaxin Mao +6

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have inspired new paradigms for document reranking. While this paradigm better exploits the reasoning and contextual understanding c…
