Out of Style: RAG's Fragility to Linguistic Variation
Tianyu Cao, Neel Bhandari, Akhila Yerukola +2
Despite the impressive performance of Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) systems across various NLP benchmarks, their robustness in handling real-world user-LLM interaction queri…
RARE: Retrieval-Aware Robustness Evaluation for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems
Yixiao Zeng, Tianyu Cao, Danqing Wang +5
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances recency and factuality in answers. However, existing evaluations rarely test how well these systems cope with real-world noise, confli…
Exploring Reasoning-Infused Text Embedding with Large Language Models for Zero-Shot Dense Retrieval
Yuxiang Liu, Tian Wang, Gourab Kundu +6
Transformer-based models such as BERT and E5 have significantly advanced text embedding by capturing rich contextual representations. However, many complex real-world queries requi…
Con4m: Context-aware Consistency Learning Framework for Segmented Time Series Classification
Junru Chen, Tianyu Cao, Jing Xu +4
Time Series Classification (TSC) encompasses two settings: classifying entire sequences or classifying segmented subsequences. The raw time series for segmented TSC usually contain…
