Quantifying and Expanding the Theoretical Capacity of Late-Interaction Retrieval Models

Julian Killingback, Varad Ingale, Hamed Zamani +1

Late-interaction retrieval models that use the MaxSim similarity function have shown strong empirical performance, often outperforming single-vector dense and sparse retrieval mode…

A Unified Model and Document Representation for On-Device Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Julian Killingback, Ofer Meshi, Henry Li +2

Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approaches generally assume that retrieval and generation occur on powerful servers removed from the end user. While this reduces l…

Scaling Laws for Embedding Dimension in Information Retrieval

Julian Killingback, Mahta Rafiee, Madine Manas +1

Dense retrieval, which encodes queries and documents into a single dense vector, has become the dominant neural retrieval approach due to its simplicity and compatibility with fast…

Benchmarking Information Retrieval Models on Complex Retrieval Tasks

Julian Killingback, Hamed Zamani

Large language models (LLMs) are incredible and versatile tools for text-based tasks that have enabled countless, previously unimaginable, applications. Retrieval models, in contra…

Hypencoder: Hypernetworks for Information Retrieval

Julian Killingback, Hansi Zeng, Hamed Zamani

Existing information retrieval systems are largely constrained by their reliance on vector inner products to assess query-document relevance, which naturally limits the expressiven…

Scaling Sparse and Dense Retrieval in Decoder-Only LLMs

Hansi Zeng, Julian Killingback, Hamed Zamani

Scaling large language models (LLMs) has shown great potential for improving retrieval model performance; however, previous studies have mainly focused on dense retrieval trained w…
