MegaPairs: Massive Data Synthesis For Universal Multimodal Retrieval
Junjie Zhou, Zheng Liu, Ze Liu +6
Despite the rapidly growing demand for multimodal retrieval, progress in this field remains severely constrained by a lack of training data. In this paper, we introduce MegaPairs,…
AIR-Bench: Automated Heterogeneous Information Retrieval Benchmark
Jianlyu Chen, Nan Wang, Chaofan Li +6
Evaluation plays a crucial role in the advancement of information retrieval (IR) models. However, current benchmarks, which are based on predefined domains and human-labeled data,…
Making Text Embedders Few-Shot Learners
Chaofan Li, MingHao Qin, Shitao Xiao +5
Large language models (LLMs) with decoder-only architectures demonstrate remarkable in-context learning (ICL) capabilities. This feature enables them to effectively handle both fam…
Lighter And Better: Towards Flexible Context Adaptation For Retrieval Augmented Generation
