ReasonIR: Training Retrievers for Reasoning Tasks

Rulin Shao, Rui Qiao, Varsha Kishore +8

We present ReasonIR-8B, the first retriever specifically trained for general reasoning tasks. Existing retrievers have shown limited gains on reasoning tasks, in part because exist…

Diffusion Guided Language Modeling

Justin Lovelace, Varsha Kishore, Yiwei Chen +1

Current language models demonstrate remarkable proficiency in text generation. However, for many applications it is desirable to control attributes, such as sentiment, or toxicity,…

Towards Artwork Explanation in Large-scale Vision Language Models

Kazuki Hayashi, Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito +2

Large-scale Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) output text from images and instructions, demonstrating capabilities in text generation and comprehension. However, it has not been clari…

Correction with Backtracking Reduces Hallucination in Summarization

Zhenzhen Liu, Chao Wan, Varsha Kishore +3

Abstractive summarization aims at generating natural language summaries of a source document that are succinct while preserving the important elements. Despite recent advances, neu…

IncDSI: Incrementally Updatable Document Retrieval

Varsha Kishore, Chao Wan, Justin Lovelace +2

Differentiable Search Index is a recently proposed paradigm for document retrieval, that encodes information about a corpus of documents within the parameters of a neural network a…

Learning Iterative Neural Optimizers for Image Steganography

Xiangyu Chen, Varsha Kishore, Kilian Q Weinberger

Image steganography is the process of concealing secret information in images through imperceptible changes. Recent work has formulated this task as a classic constrained optimizat…

BERTScore: Evaluating Text Generation with BERT

Tianyi Zhang, Varsha Kishore, Felix Wu +2

We propose BERTScore, an automatic evaluation metric for text generation. Analogously to common metrics, BERTScore computes a similarity score for each token in the candidate sente…
