CORE: Improving Compositional Reasoning in MLLM Embedding via Reranker Distillation

Tingyu Song, Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang +5

MLLM-based embedding models remain limited in compositional retrieval, often failing to distinguish scenes containing the same concepts but different attribute-object bindings. Yet…

UEmbed: Unified Sparse and Dense Multimodal Embeddings

Tingyu Song, Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang +5

Sparse retrieval underpins modern search systems, from web search to retrieval-augmented generation. Existing work has introduced Learned Sparse Retrieval (LSR) to push beyond exac…

A Survey of Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval: Progress and Challenges

Yiyang Wei, Tingyu Song, Siyue Zhang +1

Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval (RIR) targets retrieval settings where relevance is mediated by latent inferential links between a query and supporting evidence, rather than semantic…

Rethinking Composed Image Retrieval Evaluation: A Fine-Grained Benchmark from Image Editing

Tingyu Song, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +6

Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a pivotal and complex task in multimodal understanding. Current CIR benchmarks typically feature limited query categories and fail to capture the…

LimRank: Less is More for Reasoning-Intensive Information Reranking

Tingyu Song, Yilun Zhao, Siyue Zhang +2

Existing approaches typically rely on large-scale fine-tuning to adapt LLMs for information reranking tasks, which is computationally expensive. In this work, we demonstrate that m…
