Attention as Selector: Unlocking VLM Attention for Long Document Page Retrieval (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing page-level retrieval methods lack query–page interaction before similarity scoring . Existing methods require large-scale datasets to align visual and textual embeddings . |
| Approach: | They propose a retrieval framework that utilizes attention mechanisms inside VLMs for page selection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed retrieval framework outperforms embedding-based retrieval methods on four long-document benchmarks. |
