Do Neural Retrievers Prefer Certain Documents? Evidence of Learned Relevance Priors
arXiv:2606. 02814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural retrievers are trained to estimate query-document relevance from annotated query-document pairs.
arXiv:2607. 14882v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With a large controlled vocabulary as the label set, the task of automated subject indexing in a library can be understood as a multi-label classification task.
arXiv:2606. 02814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural retrievers are trained to estimate query-document relevance from annotated query-document pairs.
arXiv:2606. 04382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated subject cataloging assigns controlledvocabulary headings to bibliographic records, but LCSH has no standard public benchmark.
arXiv:2607. 23006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific question answering requires a retrieval system to solve two distinct problems: identifying which papers are relevant and locating the supporting evidence within those papers.
arXiv:2601. 00567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adapting general-domain retrievers to scientific domains is challenging due to the scarcity of large-scale domain-specific relevance annotations and the substantial mismatch in vocabulary and information needs.
arXiv:2606. 28367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is routinely extended with methods meant to improve retrieval: query expansion, hierarchical and cross-document summarization, graph-based expansion, per-query routing, rank fusion, and corrective re-retrieval.
arXiv:2608. 03527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval systems help deep research agents generate high-quality answers by providing relevant documents.
arXiv:2601. 04646v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale multi-tenant retrieval systems generate extensive query logs but lack curated relevance labels for effective domain adaptation, resulting in substantial underutilized "dark data.
arXiv:2606. 28365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: RAG ingestion pipelines frequently augment search corpus index with semantic enrichment indices (e.
arXiv:2606. 18801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the rapid expansion of massive multilingual corpora, Multilingual Information Retrieval (MLIR) has emerged as a critical technology for global information access.
arXiv:2607. 09316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thematic indexing -- the practice of assigning structured conceptual labels to sections of text -- is essential to scholarly access in large-scale literary and historical editions, yet it remains a largely manual, labour-intensive process.
With the rapid expansion of massive multilingual corpora, Multilingual Information Retrieval (MLIR) has emerged as a critical technology for global information access. MLIR enables users to retrieve semantically relevant documents from multilingual text collections using a single-language query.
arXiv:2608. 03860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce SciRet, a compute-aware empirical study of retrieval-augmented generation for scientific question answering over CORD-19.
