Autoregressive Ranking: Bridging the Gap Between Dual and Cross Encoders

Benjamin Rozonoyer, Chong You, Michael Boratko +5

The success of Large Language Models (LLMs) has motivated a shift toward generative approaches to retrieval and ranking, aiming to supersede classical Dual Encoders (DEs) and Cross…

Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities

Gheorghe Comanici, Eric Bieber, Mike Schaekermann +3431

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 2.X model family: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, as well as our earlier Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite models. Gemini 2.5 Pro is our…

Spark Transformer: Reactivating Sparsity in FFN and Attention

Chong You, Kan Wu, Zhipeng Jia +16

The discovery of the lazy neuron phenomenon in trained Transformers, where the vast majority of neurons in their feed-forward networks (FFN) are inactive for each token, has spurre…

Scalable In-context Ranking with Generative Models

Nilesh Gupta, Chong You, Srinadh Bhojanapalli +3

In-context Ranking (ICR) is an emerging paradigm for Information Retrieval (IR), which leverages contextual understanding of LLMs by directly incorporating the task description, ca…

Hierarchical Retrieval: The Geometry and a Pretrain-Finetune Recipe

Chong You, Rajesh Jayaram, Ananda Theertha Suresh +3

Dual encoder (DE) models, where a pair of matching query and document are embedded into similar vector representations, are widely used in information retrieval due to their simpli…

Efficient and Asymptotically Unbiased Constrained Decoding for Large Language Models

Haotian Ye, Himanshu Jain, Chong You +4

In real-world applications of large language models, outputs are often required to be confined: selecting items from predefined product or document sets, generating phrases that co…
