Indeed, awesome to see another method leverage rerankers with document proximity to overcome first-stage recall limitations 🤓

[Mandeep Rathee @rathee_mandeep]

We have also released our survey paper, which unifies feedback-based (including Reranker) methods to improve the search, both in Retrieval and RAG tasks.

[Mandeep Rathee @rathee_mandeep]

Happy to see another research group, @haike_xu working in the same direction and our SlideGAR in the BRIGHT world. However, Reranker-Guided Search is not new. There are papers like Quam (WSDM'25), ORE (SIGIR'25), ReFIT(SIGIR'25), TOUR (ACL'23) that use the ranker's guidance.

Can we compose skills for solving a task by principled selection of exemplars to use in In-Context Learning. We answer this question in our ICML 2025 paper with @kiranpurohit08 @run4avi @sourangshub

Had a great time at #ECIR2025! 🎉 in Lucca, Italy. I met some amazing researchers. Really enjoyed the company for my all collaborators @vvenki22 , @macavaney and @run4avi. Thanks @vinaysetty for suggesting amazing food places in the city.

[Avishek Anand @run4avi]

ECIR 2025 was a great success. Hoping to make a memorable #ECIR2026 with the dream team of @suzan and @zhaochun_ren … We will be preparing to welcoming all of us to Delft.

[ECIR2025 @ecir2025]

…and the next ECIR will be in Delft, The Netherlands! See you at #Ecir2026

Excited for our Explainable IR tutorial at ECIR 2025 with @vvenky42 & Sourav Saha! Sunday morning ☀️: https://t.co/rdBd5xD4BT #ECIR2025 💡 #ExplainableIR

[Mandeep Rathee @rathee_mandeep]

It was a great experience to present my work at the Glasgow IR group @ir_glasgow. This talk was based on recently accepted papers -Quam (accepted at #WSDM2025) and SlideGAR (accepted at #ECIR2025) --done in collaboration with Sean MacAvaney @macavaney and Avishek Anand @run4avi

[venktesh @vvenki22]

I am also currently on academic job market. I am currently focusing on scaling retrieval and reasoning for complex knowledge intensive tasks. Please feel free to connect with me if these research goals interest you.

@JonasWallat presented our work at #cikm2024 titled “Causal Probing for Dual Encoders,” that applies causal probing to dual encoders directly, revealing which IR properties they genuinely use.
