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…
VisDocAgentBench: Benchmarking Agents for Visually Rich Document Retrieval
Lexiang Hu, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +5
Visually rich documents encode relevance through language, layout, structured visual elements, and corpus context, yet retrieval is typically evaluated by one-shot query--page matc…
DEPT: Document Embedding Preservation Tuning for Unified Query Expansion and Retrieval
Jingyuan Wang, Richong Zhang, Zhijie Nie +2
Large language models (LLMs) can both expand underspecified queries and encode text as dense representations, suggesting a unified model for query expansion and retrieval. Existing…
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…
CORE-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Code Retrieval in the Era of Agentic Coding
Fuwei Zhang, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +5
Code retrieval is becoming central to coding agents, but agentic coding requires more than matching a natural-language query to an isolated snippet. Given a user request, a coding…
Fused Gromov-Wasserstein Distance with Feature Selection
Harlin Lee, Ying Yu, Mingxin Li +1
Fused Gromov-Wasserstein (FGW) distances provide a principled framework for comparing objects by jointly aligning structure and node features. However, existing FGW formulations tr…
LaSER: Internalizing Explicit Reasoning into Latent Space for Dense Retrieval
Jiajie Jin, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +4
LLMs have fundamentally transformed dense retrieval, upgrading backbones from discriminative encoders to generative architectures. However, a critical disconnect remains: while LLM…
DiffuRank: Effective Document Reranking with Diffusion Language Models
Qi Liu, Kun Ai, Jiaxin Mao +6
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have inspired new paradigms for document reranking. While this paradigm better exploits the reasoning and contextual understanding c…
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…
Qwen3-VL-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Reranker: A Unified Framework for State-of-the-Art Multimodal Retrieval and Ranking
Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang, Dingkun Long +9
In this report, we introduce the Qwen3-VL-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Reranker model series, the latest extensions of the Qwen family built on the Qwen3-VL foundation model. Together, t…
Towards Universal Video Retrieval: Generalizing Video Embedding via Synthesized Multimodal Pyramid Curriculum
Zhuoning Guo, Mingxin Li, Yanzhao Zhang +3
The prevailing video retrieval paradigm is structurally misaligned, as narrow benchmarks incentivize correspondingly limited data and single-task training. Therefore, universal cap…
Supervised Fine-Tuning or Contrastive Learning? Towards Better Multimodal LLM Reranking
Ziqi Dai, Xin Zhang, Mingxin Li +6
In information retrieval, training reranking models mainly focuses on two types of objectives: metric learning (e.g. contrastive loss to increase the predicted scores on relevant q…
E2Rank: Unifying Text Embedding and Listwise Reranking for Effective and Efficient Search
Qi Liu, Yanzhao Zhang, Mingxin Li +3
Text embedding models deliver competitive retrieval performance with high efficiency, but their ranking fidelity remains limited compared to LLM-based listwise rerankers, which cap…
