Seek: Self-Evaluative Exploration for Knowledge Retrieval
Amin Bigdeli, Radin Hamidi Rad, Negar Arabzadeh +4
LLM-based retrievers and rerankers have advanced passage ranking, yet both paradigms interact with the corpus in a single pass and commit to the resulting candidate set, leaving re…
Route Me If You Can: A Benchmark for Query Reformulation Selection
Hai Son Le, Negar Arabzadeh, Amin Bigdeli +4
LLM-based query reformulation can improve retrieval, but no single reformulation strategy is consistently optimal across queries, domains, retrievers, or model backbones. This crea…
Question's Gambit: The First Move Matters in Agentic Deep Search
Radin Hamidi Rad, Amin Bigdeli, Negar Arabzadeh +4
Deep research agents answer complex questions through iterative loops of searching, reading, and reasoning. Recent work on reasoning-intensive benchmarks such as BrowseComp-Plus sh…
ADORE: Iterative Query Expansion with Retrieval-Grounded Relevance Feedback
Amin Bigdeli, Negar Arabzadeh, Radin Hamidi Rad +3
LLM-based query expansion improves retrieval by enriching the original query with additional context. Yet most methods remain generation-driven, producing plausible pseudo-document…
Led to Mislead: Adversarial Content Injection for Attacks on Neural Ranking Models
Amin Bigdeli, Amir Khosrojerdi, Radin Hamidi Rad +3
Neural Ranking Models (NRMs) are central to modern information retrieval but remain highly vulnerable to adversarial manipulation. Existing attacks often rely on heuristics or surr…
A Reproducibility Study of LLM-Based Query Reformulation
Amin Bigdeli, Radin Hamidi Rad, Hai Son Le +4
Large Language Models (LLMs) are now widely used for query reformulation and expansion in Information Retrieval, with many studies reporting substantial effectiveness gains. Howeve…
Adaptive Prompt Embedding Optimization for LLM Jailbreaking
Miles Q. Li, Benjamin C. M. Fung, Boyang Li +2
Existing white-box jailbreak attacks against aligned LLMs typically append discrete adversarial suffixes to the user prompt, which visibly alters the prompt and operates in a combi…
