Bayesian Active Learning with Gaussian Processes Guided by LLM Relevance Scoring for Dense Passage Retrieval

Junyoung Kim, Anton Korikov, Jiazhou Liang +5

While Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit exceptional zero-shot relevance modeling, their high computational cost necessitates framing passage retrieval as a budget-constrained gl…

ReBOL: Retrieval via Bayesian Optimization with Batched LLM Relevance Observations and Query Reformulation

Anton Korikov, Scott Sanner

LLM-reranking is limited by the top-k documents retrieved by vector similarity, which neither enables contextual query-document token interactions nor captures multimodal relevance…

Multimodal Item Scoring for Natural Language Recommendation via Gaussian Process Regression with LLM Relevance Judgments

Yifan Liu, Qianfeng Wen, Jiazhou Liang +6

Natural Language Recommendation (NLRec) generates item suggestions based on the relevance between user-issued NL requests and NL item description passages. Existing NLRec approache…

A Simple but Effective Elaborative Query Reformulation Approach for Natural Language Recommendation

Qianfeng Wen, Yifan Liu, Justin Cui +4

Natural Language (NL) recommender systems aim to retrieve relevant items from free-form user queries and item descriptions. Existing systems often rely on dense retrieval (DR), whi…

Batched Self-Consistency Improves LLM Relevance Assessment and Ranking

Anton Korikov, Pan Du, Scott Sanner +1

LLM query-passage relevance assessment is typically studied using a one-by-one pointwise (PW) strategy where each LLM call judges one passage at a time. However, this strategy requ…

Large Language Model Driven Recommendation

Anton Korikov, Scott Sanner, Yashar Deldjoo +8

While previous chapters focused on recommendation systems (RSs) based on standardized, non-verbal user feedback such as purchases, views, and clicks -- the advent of LLMs has unloc…
