  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. QCRI: Answer Selection for Community Question Answering - Experiments for Arabic and English (2015 · 76 citations)
    The paper reports QCRI's entry in SemEval-2015 Task 3, which asks whether a comment in a Web forum thread actually answers the question that opened the thread.
  3. The Distracting Effect: Understanding Irrelevant Passages in RAG (2025 · 21 citations)
    This paper examines a familiar weakness of Retrieval Augmented Generation: passages that do not answer a question but are topically close to it can lead the generating LLM to a wrong answer.
  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.
