Adaptive Re-Ranking cuts IR latency by routing queries efficiently

Researchers have introduced Adaptive Re-Ranking, a framework designed to optimize computational costs and latency in information retrieval systems. This method routes queries based on their complexity, employing different re-ranking models—from sparse retrieval (BM25) to heavy neural re-ranking (BGE-v2-m3)—to avoid unnecessary processing on simpler queries. The approach demonstrates significant reductions in median and mean latency, achieving competitive nDCG@10 scores across various datasets. AI

IMPACT Potential to significantly reduce latency and computational costs in search and retrieval systems.

    Adaptive Re-Ranking

    Modern Information Retrieval (IR) systems typically use a "retrieve-then-rerank" pipeline, where a computationally expensive, pre-determined cross-encoder re-ranks the top results from a fast initial retriever. While effective, this approach often applies heavy re-ranking models …
