LIR: The First Workshop on Late Interaction and Multi Vector Retrieval @ ECIR 2026
Benjamin Clavié, Xianming Li, Antoine Chaffin +4
Late interaction retrieval methods, pioneered by ColBERT, have emerged as a powerful alternative to single-vector neural IR. By leveraging fine-grained, token-level representations…
ProRank: Prompt Warmup via Reinforcement Learning for Small Language Models Reranking
Xianming Li, Aamir Shakir, Rui Huang +4
Reranking is fundamental to information retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation, with recent Large Language Models (LLMs) significantly advancing reranking quality. Most curre…
BMX: Entropy-weighted Similarity and Semantic-enhanced Lexical Search
Xianming Li, Julius Lipp, Aamir Shakir +2
BM25, a widely-used lexical search algorithm, remains crucial in information retrieval despite the rise of pre-trained and large language models (PLMs/LLMs). However, it neglects q…
