FIRST: Faster Improved Listwise Reranking with Single Token Decoding

Revanth Gangi Reddy, JaeHyeok Doo, Yifei Xu +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of information retrieval, particularly for reranking. Listwise LLM rerankers have showcased superior performance…

Prompts as Auto-Optimized Training Hyperparameters: Training Best-in-Class IR Models from Scratch with 10 Gold Labels

Jasper Xian, Saron Samuel, Faraz Khoubsirat +7

We develop a method for training small-scale (under 100M parameter) neural information retrieval models with as few as 10 gold relevance labels. The method depends on generating sy…

An Empirical Investigation into the Effect of Parameter Choices in Knowledge Distillation

Md Arafat Sultan, Aashka Trivedi, Parul Awasthy +1

We present a large-scale empirical study of how choices of configuration parameters affect performance in knowledge distillation (KD). An example of such a KD parameter is the meas…

Multistage Collaborative Knowledge Distillation from a Large Language Model for Semi-Supervised Sequence Generation

Jiachen Zhao, Wenlong Zhao, Andrew Drozdov +5

We study semi-supervised sequence generation tasks, where the few labeled examples are too scarce to finetune a model, and meanwhile, few-shot prompted large language models (LLMs)…

Ensemble-Instruct: Generating Instruction-Tuning Data with a Heterogeneous Mixture of LMs

Young-Suk Lee, Md Arafat Sultan, Yousef El-Kurdi +4

Using in-context learning (ICL) for data generation, techniques such as Self-Instruct (Wang et al., 2023) or the follow-up Alpaca (Taori et al., 2023) can train strong conversation…

ReFIT: Relevance Feedback from a Reranker during Inference

Revanth Gangi Reddy, Pradeep Dasigi, Md Arafat Sultan +4

Retrieve-and-rerank is a prevalent framework in neural information retrieval, wherein a bi-encoder network initially retrieves a pre-defined number of candidates (e.g., K=100), whi…
