S2G-RAG: Structured Sufficiency and Gap Judging for Iterative Retrieval-Augmented QA

Minghan Li, Junjie Zou, Xinxuan Lv +2

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds language models in external evidence, but multi-hop question answering remains difficult because iterative pipelines must control what…

GLIER: Generative Legal Inference and Evidence Ranking for Legal Case Retrieval

Minghan Li, Tianrui Lv, Chao Zhang +1

The semantic gap between colloquial user queries and professional legal documents presents a fundamental challenge in Legal Case Retrieval (LCR). Existing dense retrieval methods t…

Retrieval-Feedback-Driven Distillation and Preference Alignment for Efficient LLM-based Query Expansion

Minghan Li, Guodong Zhou

Large language models have recently enabled a generative paradigm for query expansion, but their high inference cost makes direct deployment difficult in practical retrieval system…

Automatic In-Domain Exemplar Construction and LLM-Based Refinement of Multi-LLM Expansions for Query Expansion

Minghan Li, Ercong Nie, Siqi Zhao +3

Query expansion with large language models is promising but often relies on hand-crafted prompts, manually chosen exemplars, or a single LLM, making it non-scalable and sensitive t…

A Survey of Long-Document Retrieval in the PLM and LLM Era

Minghan Li, Miyang Luo, Tianrui Lv +4

The proliferation of long-form documents presents a fundamental challenge to information retrieval (IR), as their length, dispersed evidence, and complex structures demand speciali…

Efficient Long-Document Reranking via Block-Level Embeddings and Top-k Interaction Refinement

Minghan Li, Eric Gaussier, Guodong Zhou

Dense encoders and LLM-based rerankers struggle with long documents: single-vector representations dilute fine-grained relevance, while cross-encoders are often too expensive for p…
