Unifying Adversarial Robustness and Training Across Text Scoring Models

Manveer Singh Tamber, Hosna Oyarhoseini, Jimmy Lin

Research on adversarial robustness in language models is currently fragmented across applications and attacks, obscuring shared vulnerabilities. In this work, we propose unifying t…

Conventional Contrastive Learning Often Falls Short: Improving Dense Retrieval with Cross-Encoder Listwise Distillation and Synthetic Data

Manveer Singh Tamber, Suleman Kazi, Vivek Sourabh +1

We investigate improving the retrieval effectiveness of embedding models through the lens of corpus-specific fine-tuning. Prior work has shown that fine-tuning with queries generat…

Benchmarking LLM Faithfulness in RAG with Evolving Leaderboards

Manveer Singh Tamber, Forrest Sheng Bao, Chenyu Xu +7

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) aims to reduce hallucinations by grounding responses in external context, yet large language models (LLMs) still frequently introduce unsupport…

Teaching Dense Retrieval Models to Specialize with Listwise Distillation and LLM Data Augmentation

Manveer Singh Tamber, Suleman Kazi, Vivek Sourabh +1

While the current state-of-the-art dense retrieval models exhibit strong out-of-domain generalization, they might fail to capture nuanced domain-specific knowledge. In principle, f…

Illusions of Relevance: Arbitrary Content Injection Attacks Deceive Retrievers, Rerankers, and LLM Judges

Manveer Singh Tamber, Jimmy Lin

This work considers a black-box threat model in which adversaries attempt to propagate arbitrary non-relevant content in search. We show that retrievers, rerankers, and LLM relevan…
