Context Embeddings for Efficient Answer Generation in RAG
David Rau, Shuai Wang, Hervé Déjean +1
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) allows overcoming the limited knowledge of LLMs by extending the input with external information. As a consequence, the contextual inputs to th…
Retrieval-augmented generation in multilingual settings
Nadezhda Chirkova, David Rau, Hervé Déjean +3
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has recently emerged as a promising solution for incorporating up-to-date or domain-specific knowledge into large language models (LLMs) and im…
BERGEN: A Benchmarking Library for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
David Rau, Hervé Déjean, Nadezhda Chirkova +4
Retrieval-Augmented Generation allows to enhance Large Language Models with external knowledge. In response to the recent popularity of generative LLMs, many RAG approaches have be…
SPLATE: Sparse Late Interaction Retrieval
Thibault Formal, Stéphane Clinchant, Hervé Déjean +1
The late interaction paradigm introduced with ColBERT stands out in the neural Information Retrieval space, offering a compelling effectiveness-efficiency trade-off across many ben…
Two-Step SPLADE: Simple, Efficient and Effective Approximation of SPLADE
Carlos Lassance, Hervé Dejean, Stéphane Clinchant +1
Learned sparse models such as SPLADE have successfully shown how to incorporate the benefits of state-of-the-art neural information retrieval models into the classical inverted ind…
A Thorough Comparison of Cross-Encoders and LLMs for Reranking SPLADE
Hervé Déjean, Stéphane Clinchant, Thibault Formal
We present a comparative study between cross-encoder and LLMs rerankers in the context of re-ranking effective SPLADE retrievers. We conduct a large evaluation on TREC Deep Learnin…
SPLADE-v3: New baselines for SPLADE
Carlos Lassance, Hervé Déjean, Thibault Formal +1
A companion to the release of the latest version of the SPLADE library. We describe changes to the training structure and present our latest series of models -- SPLADE-v3. We compa…
