Researchers have developed DREAM (Dense Retrieval Embeddings via Autoregressive Modeling), a novel method for training dense retrieval systems. Unlike traditional methods that rely on costly labeled data, DREAM leverages the next-token prediction objective of large language models (LLMs) to supervise the training process. By injecting query-document similarity scores into an LLM's attention heads, DREAM enables the prediction loss to provide gradients for the retriever. Evaluations on retrieval benchmarks show that DREAM consistently outperforms existing baselines across various model scales. AI
IMPACT This approach could reduce the reliance on expensive labeled datasets for training retrieval systems, potentially accelerating development.
