Beyond Relevance: Utility-Centric Retrieval in the LLM Era
Hengran Zhang, Minghao Tang, Keping Bi +1
Information retrieval systems have traditionally optimized for topical relevance-the degree to which retrieved documents match a query. However, relevance only approximates a deepe…
Reconstructing Content with Collaborative Attention for Universal Multimodal Representation Learning
Jiahan Chen, Da Li, Hengran Zhang +6
Multimodal embedding models, rooted in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), have yielded significant performance improvements across diverse tasks such as retrieval and classi…
Bagging-Based Model Merging for Robust General Text Embeddings
Hengran Zhang, Keping Bi, Jiafeng Guo +4
General-purpose text embedding models underpin a wide range of NLP and information retrieval applications, and are typically trained on large-scale multi-task corpora to encourage…
Training Dense Retrievers with Multiple Positive Passages
Benben Wang, Minghao Tang, Hengran Zhang +2
Modern knowledge-intensive systems, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), rely on effective retrievers to establish the performance ceiling for downstream modules. However,…
