BrowseComp-Plus: A More Fair and Transparent Evaluation Benchmark of Deep-Research Agent
Zijian Chen, Xueguang Ma, Shengyao Zhuang +17
Deep-Research agents, which integrate large language models (LLMs) with search tools, have shown success in improving the effectiveness of handling complex queries that require ite…
MAGMaR Shared Task System Description: Video Retrieval with OmniEmbed
Jiaqi Samantha Zhan, Crystina Zhang, Shengyao Zhuang +2
Effective video retrieval remains challenging due to the complexity of integrating visual, auditory, and textual modalities. In this paper, we explore unified retrieval methods usi…
Tevatron 2.0: Unified Document Retrieval Toolkit across Scale, Language, and Modality
Xueguang Ma, Luyu Gao, Shengyao Zhuang +3
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have driven interest in billion-scale retrieval models with strong generalization across retrieval tasks and languages. Addition…
Hard Negatives, Hard Lessons: Revisiting Training Data Quality for Robust Information Retrieval with LLMs
Nandan Thakur, Crystina Zhang, Xueguang Ma +1
Training robust retrieval and reranker models typically relies on large-scale retrieval datasets; for example, the BGE collection contains 1.6 million query-passage pairs sourced f…
Rank-R1: Enhancing Reasoning in LLM-based Document Rerankers via Reinforcement Learning
Shengyao Zhuang, Xueguang Ma, Bevan Koopman +2
In this paper, we introduce Rank-R1, a novel LLM-based reranker that performs reasoning over both the user query and candidate documents before performing the ranking task. Existin…
DRAMA: Diverse Augmentation from Large Language Models to Smaller Dense Retrievers
Xueguang Ma, Xi Victoria Lin, Barlas Oguz +3
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong effectiveness and robustness while fine-tuned as dense retrievers. However, their large parameter size brings significant infe…
Document Screenshot Retrievers are Vulnerable to Pixel Poisoning Attacks
Shengyao Zhuang, Ekaterina Khramtsova, Xueguang Ma +3
Recent advancements in dense retrieval have introduced vision-language model (VLM)-based retrievers, such as DSE and ColPali, which leverage document screenshots embedded as vector…
