DRBENCHER: Can Your Agent Identify the Entity, Retrieve Its Properties and Do the Math?
Young-Suk Lee, Ramon Fernandez Astudillo, Radu Florian
Deep research agents increasingly interleave web browsing with multi-step computation, yet existing benchmarks evaluate these capabilities in isolation, creating a blind spot in as…
DialectalArabicMMLU: Benchmarking Dialectal Capabilities in Arabic and Multilingual Language Models
Malik H. Altakrori, Nizar Habash, Abed Alhakim Freihat +7
We present DialectalArabicMMLU, a new benchmark for evaluating the performance of large language models (LLMs) across Arabic dialects. While recently developed Arabic and multiling…
Optimal Policy Minimum Bayesian Risk
Ramón Fernandez Astudillo, Md Arafat Sultan, Aashka Trivedi +4
Inference scaling helps LLMs solve complex reasoning problems through extended runtime computation. On top of long chain-of-thought (long-CoT) models, purely inference-time techniq…
Granite Embedding Models
Parul Awasthy, Aashka Trivedi, Yulong Li +19
We introduce the Granite Embedding models, a family of encoder-based embedding models designed for retrieval tasks, spanning dense-retrieval and sparse retrieval architectures, wit…
Multi-Document Grounded Multi-Turn Synthetic Dialog Generation
Young-Suk Lee, Chulaka Gunasekara, Danish Contractor +2
We introduce a technique for multi-document grounded multi-turn synthetic dialog generation that incorporates three main ideas. First, we control the overall dialog flow using taxo…
Prompts as Auto-Optimized Training Hyperparameters: Training Best-in-Class IR Models from Scratch with 10 Gold Labels
Jasper Xian, Saron Samuel, Faraz Khoubsirat +7
We develop a method for training small-scale (under 100M parameter) neural information retrieval models with as few as 10 gold relevance labels. The method depends on generating sy…
From Multiple-Choice to Extractive QA: A Case Study for English and Arabic
Teresa Lynn, Malik H. Altakrori, Samar Mohamed Magdy +11
The rapid evolution of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has favoured major languages such as English, leaving a significant gap for many others due to limited resources. This is e…
CLAPNQ: Cohesive Long-form Answers from Passages in Natural Questions for RAG systems
Sara Rosenthal, Avirup Sil, Radu Florian +1
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a popular application for large language models. It is preferable that successful RAG systems provide accurate answers that are supp…
Self-Refinement of Language Models from External Proxy Metrics Feedback
Keshav Ramji, Young-Suk Lee, Ramón Fernandez Astudillo +5
It is often desirable for Large Language Models (LLMs) to capture multiple objectives when providing a response. In document-grounded response generation, for example, agent respon…
Ensemble-Instruct: Generating Instruction-Tuning Data with a Heterogeneous Mixture of LMs
Young-Suk Lee, Md Arafat Sultan, Yousef El-Kurdi +4
Using in-context learning (ICL) for data generation, techniques such as Self-Instruct (Wang et al., 2023) or the follow-up Alpaca (Taori et al., 2023) can train strong conversation…
