  1. The Power of Noise: Redefining Retrieval for RAG Systems (2024 · 312 citations)
    Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) supplies an LLM with passages from an IR system so it can answer questions beyond its pre-trained knowledge.
  2. SemEval-2021 Task 6: Detection of Persuasion Techniques in Texts and Images (2021 · 75 citations)
    This shared task addresses the automatic identification of propaganda and persuasion devices in memes. Memes carry their message through both overlaid text and the picture, so studying text alone misses part of the signal. Building on SemEval-2020 task 11, which covered news text only, the organisers created a…
  3. Attention Sinks in Diffusion Language Models (2026 · 5 citations)
    Attention sinks are a small set of tokens that receive a disproportionate share of attention. They are well documented in autoregressive models (ARMs), but no one had examined them in masked Diffusion Language Models (DLMs), which generate text by repeatedly unmasking tokens under bidirectional attention. The authors…
  4. Redefining Retrieval Evaluation in the Era of LLMs (2026 · 1 citation)
    Classic retrieval metrics such as nDCG, MAP and MRR were built for people who read result lists from the top down.
