miniReranker: Efficient Multimodal Reranking through Visual Cache Reuse and Interaction Sparsity
Yingqi Fan, Xuan Lu, Anhao Zhao +6
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have recently shown strong potential as point-wise rerankers by directly modeling query--document relevance through next-token prediction.…
CompRank: Efficient LLM Reranking via Token-Level Compression and Decoding-Free Scoring
Xuan Lu, Haohang Huang, Yingqi Fan +5
Large language model (LLM) rerankers have become an important component of modern retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, but their high computational cost limits t…
When Should Queries Be Decomposed? A Stage-Aware Study of Query Decomposition for Multi-Condition Retrieval
Bochao Yin, Xuan Lu, Zhengyu Qi +1
Multi-condition retrieval requires systems to identify documents that satisfy multiple distinct constraints, moving beyond mere topical relevance. While query decomposition is wide…
MMEB-V3: Measuring the Performance Gaps of Omni-Modality Embedding Models
Haohang Huang, Xuan Lu, Mingyi Su +9
Multimodal embedding models aim to map heterogeneous inputs, such as text, images, videos, and audio, into a shared semantic space. However, existing methods and benchmarks remain…
Tools are under-documented: Simple Document Expansion Boosts Tool Retrieval
Xuan Lu, Haohang Huang, Rui Meng +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated strong capabilities in tool use, yet progress in tool retrieval remains hindered by incomplete and heterogeneous tool docume…
Rethinking Reasoning in Document Ranking: Why Chain-of-Thought Falls Short
Xuan Lu, Haohang Huang, Rui Meng +3
Document reranking is a key component in information retrieval (IR), aimed at refining initial retrieval results to improve ranking quality for downstream tasks. Recent studies--mo…
