New Greek book retrieval benchmark CUP released

Researchers have introduced CUP, a new benchmark dataset designed for evaluating Greek book retrieval systems. The dataset comprises 868 catalog records and 104 expert-annotated queries with relevance judgments. Experiments show that multilingual embeddings outperform Greek-specific models, and hybrid retrieval methods achieve the best overall performance. Analysis indicates BM25 is effective for named-entity queries, while dense and hybrid approaches improve performance on natural-language, noisy, cross-lingual, and concept-based queries. AI

IMPACT Provides a benchmark for evaluating LLM and embedding-based retrieval systems in a specific domain.
