This report presents our participation to the WSDM Cup 2026 shared task on multilingual document retrieval from English queries. The task provides a challenging benchmark for cross-lingual generalization. It also provides a natural testbed…

The text retrieval is the task of retrieving similar documents to a search query, and it is important to improve retrieval accuracy while maintaining a certain level of retrieval speed. Existing studies have reported accuracy improvements…

We present the methodology and results of the Deep Retrieval team for subtask 4b of the CLEF CheckThat! 2025 competition, which focuses on retrieving relevant scientific literature for given social media posts. To address this task, we…

Retrieval-augmented generation has achieved strong performance on knowledge-intensive tasks where query-document relevance can be identified through direct lexical or semantic matches. However, many real-world queries involve abstract…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems critically depend on retrieval quality, yet no systematic comparison of modern retrieval methods exists for heterogeneous documents containing both text and tabular data. We benchmark ten…

We participated in the Fifth UNLP shared task on multi-domain document understanding, where systems must answer Ukrainian multiple-choice questions from PDF collections and localize the supporting document and page. We propose a…

This paper mainly describes our winning solution (team name: www) to Amazon ESCI Challenge of KDD CUP 2022, which achieves a NDCG score of 0.9043 and wins the first place on task 1: the query-product ranking track. In this competition,…

In this paper, we present our solution to the Multilingual Information Retrieval Across a Continuum of Languages (MIRACL) challenge of WSDM CUP 2023\footnote{https://project-miracl.github.io/}. Our solution focuses on enhancing the ranking…

We describe our system for SemEval-2026 Task 8 (MTRAGEval), participating in Task A (Retrieval) across four English-language domains. Our approach employs a three-stage pipeline: (1) query rewriting via a LoRA-fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B model…

In knowledge-intensive tasks such as open-domain question answering (OpenQA), large language models (LLMs) often struggle to generate factual answers, relying solely on their internal (parametric) knowledge. To address this limitation,…

In this paper, we propose to boost low-resource cross-lingual document retrieval performance with deep bilingual query-document representations. We match queries and documents in both source and target languages with four components, each…

Ranking models play a crucial role in enhancing overall accuracy of text retrieval systems. These multi-stage systems typically utilize either dense embedding models or sparse lexical indices to retrieve relevant passages based on a given…

Conversational multi-doc question answering aims to answer specific questions based on the retrieved documents as well as the contextual conversations. In this paper, we introduce our winning approach for the "Conversational Multi-Doc QA"…

In this paper, we introduce the approach behind our submission for the MIRACL challenge, a WSDM 2023 Cup competition that centers on ad-hoc retrieval across 18 diverse languages. Our solution contains two neural-based models. The first…

To measure advances in retrieval, test collections with relevance judgments that can faithfully distinguish systems are required. This paper presents NeuCLIRBench, an evaluation collection for cross-language and multilingual retrieval. The…

In large scale recommendation systems like the LinkedIn Feed, the retrieval stage is critical for narrowing hundreds of millions of potential candidates to a manageable subset for ranking. LinkedIn's Feed serves suggested content from…

This paper addresses the deduplication of multilingual textual data using advanced NLP tools. We compare a two-step method involving translation to English followed by embedding with mpnet, and a multilingual embedding model (distiluse).…

As agents operate over long horizons, their memory stores grow continuously, making retrieval critical to accessing relevant information. Many agent queries require reasoning-intensive retrieval, where the connection between query and…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in medical question answering; however, purely parametric models often suffer from knowledge gaps and limited factual grounding. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)…

We present a hybrid retrieval system for COVID-19 scientific literature, evaluated on the TREC-COVID benchmark (171,332 papers, 50 expert queries). The system implements six retrieval configurations spanning sparse (SPLADE), dense (BGE),…
