We are delighted to invite submissions of tutorial proposals for the first SIGIR-AP conference, to be held in Beijing, November 26-29. Call for tutorials: sigir-ap.org/sigir-ap-2023/… Easychair Links: easychair.org/conferences/?c…

BTW: I could not post the cfp to SIG-IRList, either via sending an email to [email protected] or [email protected]. Not sure what went wrong.

Proposals for online tutorials are also welcome:) So please do not hesitate to submit if you plan to virtually attend SIGIR-AP!

Leveraging Passage Embeddings for Efficient Listwise Reranking with Large Language Models Compresses passages into embeddings to reduce input length and latency, achieves comparable ranking performance to uncompressed methods. 📝arxiv.org/abs/2406.14848 👨🏽‍💻github.com/liuqi6777/pe_r…

Can't we just use LLM for reranking? 🤔Just throw the query, doc1, doc2,...docN into the context window and let LLM figure out the top-K? Turns out we can, and it's almost in the way you thought. Announcing our latest research, "Leveraging Passage Embeddings for Efficient

SIGIR-AP 2025 includes fantastic tutorials on some of the hottest topics in Information Retrieval presented by research leaders. Virtual participants are "first-class citizens" at SIGIR-AP (but pay reduced fees). Late registration fees kick in on November 16. so register soon.

Improving RAG through Multi-Agent RL This work treats RAG as a multi-agent cooperative task to improve answer generation quality. It models RAG components like query rewriting, document selection, and answer generation as reinforcement learning agents working together toward
