Chain-of-Retrieval Augmented Generation

Liang Wang, Haonan Chen, Nan Yang +3

This paper introduces an approach for training o1-like RAG models that retrieve and reason over relevant information step by step before generating the final answer. Conventional R…

Fine-Tuning LLaMA for Multi-Stage Text Retrieval

Xueguang Ma, Liang Wang, Nan Yang +2

The effectiveness of multi-stage text retrieval has been solidly demonstrated since before the era of pre-trained language models. However, most existing studies utilize models tha…

Large Search Model: Redefining Search Stack in the Era of LLMs

Liang Wang, Nan Yang, Xiaolong Huang +3

Modern search engines are built on a stack of different components, including query understanding, retrieval, multi-stage ranking, and question answering, among others. These compo…

Learning Diverse Document Representations with Deep Query Interactions for Dense Retrieval

Zehan Li, Nan Yang, Liang Wang +1

In this paper, we propose a new dense retrieval model which learns diverse document representations with deep query interactions. Our model encodes each document with a set of gene…

SimLM: Pre-training with Representation Bottleneck for Dense Passage Retrieval

Liang Wang, Nan Yang, Xiaolong Huang +5

In this paper, we propose SimLM (Similarity matching with Language Model pre-training), a simple yet effective pre-training method for dense passage retrieval. It employs a simple…
