Effective Dense Retrieval using Only In-Context Examples

Nour Jedidi, Abdul Basit Ali, Hang Li +1

Turning decoder-only large language models (LLMs) into strong dense retrievers typically requires some form of retriever training. In this paper, we ask whether LLMs can instead be…

A Systematic Study of Pseudo-Relevance Feedback with LLMs

Nour Jedidi, Jimmy Lin

Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) methods built on large language models (LLMs) can be organized along two key design dimensions: the feedback source, which is where the feedback tex…

NanoKnow: How to Know What Your Language Model Knows

Lingwei Gu, Nour Jedidi, Jimmy Lin

How do large language models (LLMs) know what they know? Answering this question has been difficult because pre-training data is often a "black box" - unknown or inaccessible. The…

Revisiting Feedback Models for HyDE

Nour Jedidi, Jimmy Lin

Recent approaches that leverage large language models (LLMs) for pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) have generally not utilized well-established feedback models like Rocchio and RM3 w…

From Reviews to Actionable Insights: An LLM-Based Approach for Attribute and Feature Extraction

Khaled Boughanmi, Kamel Jedidi, Nour Jedidi

This research proposes a systematic, large language model (LLM) approach for extracting product and service attributes, features, and associated sentiments from customer reviews. G…

Study on LLMs for Promptagator-Style Dense Retriever Training

Daniel Gwon, Nour Jedidi, Jimmy Lin

Promptagator demonstrated that Large Language Models (LLMs) with few-shot prompts can be used as task-specific query generators for fine-tuning domain-specialized dense retrieval m…

Don't "Overthink" Passage Reranking: Is Reasoning Truly Necessary?

Nour Jedidi, Yung-Sung Chuang, James Glass +1

With the growing success of reasoning models across complex natural language tasks, researchers in the Information Retrieval (IR) community have begun exploring how similar reasoni…

Zero-Shot Dense Retrieval with Embeddings from Relevance Feedback

Nour Jedidi, Yung-Sung Chuang, Leslie Shing +1

Building effective dense retrieval systems remains difficult when relevance supervision is not available. Recent work has looked to overcome this challenge by using a Large Languag…
