| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in various natural language processing tasks, but their application to information retrieval tasks is still challenging due to the infrequent occurrence of many IR-specific concepts in natural language. |
| Approach: | They propose to use instruction tuning to enhance LLMs' proficiency in IR tasks by combining a dataset with manually written templates to analyze the effects of instruction design, template diversity, few-shot demonstrations, and the volume of instructions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to perform query understanding, document understanding, and query-document relationship understanding tasks. |
