Explain then Rank: Scale Calibration of Neural Rankers Using Natural Language Explanations from LLMs (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural ranking models produce the final document scores, but they are often treated as transient information and only the relative orderings are preserved to produce a ranking. |
| Approach: | They propose to exploit large language models (LLMs) to provide relevance and uncertainty signals for these neural text rankers to produce scale-calibrated scores through Monte Carlo sampling of natural language explanations (NLEs). |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms previous calibration methods and LLM-based methods for ranking, calibration, and query performance prediction tasks. |
