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…
On The Role of Pretrained Language Models in General-Purpose Text Embeddings: A Survey
Meishan Zhang, Xin Zhang, Xinping Zhao +3
Text embeddings have attracted growing interest due to their effectiveness across a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including retrieval, classification, clus…
Learning to Extract Rational Evidence via Reinforcement Learning for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Xinping Zhao, Shouzheng Huang, Yan Zhong +4
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) effectively improves the accuracy of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, retrieval noises significantly undermine the quality of LLMs' gener…
Retrieval-style In-Context Learning for Few-shot Hierarchical Text Classification
Huiyao Chen, Yu Zhao, Zulong Chen +4
Hierarchical text classification (HTC) is an important task with broad applications, while few-shot HTC has gained increasing interest recently. While in-context learning (ICL) wit…
