Hybrid Hierarchical Retrieval for Open-Domain Question Answering (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work shows that dense hierarchical retrieval (DHR) can outperform dense passage retrieval. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that applies sparse, dense and a combination of them to document and passage retrieval. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can outperform dense hierarchical retrieval (DHR) and sparse retrievers (BM25) on open-domain question answering (ODQA) datasets with an average improvement of 4.69% on recall@100 over DHR. |
Neural Breadcrumbs: Membership Inference Attacks on LLMs Through Hidden State and Attention Pattern Analysis (2026.eacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Membership inference attacks (MIAs) reveal whether specific data was used to train machine learning models, serving as important tools for privacy auditing and compliance assessment. |
| Approach: | They propose to examine LLMs’ internal representations rather than just their outputs to gain additional insights into potential membership inference signals. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework yields strong membership detection across several model families achieving average AUC scores of 0.85 on popular MIA benchmarks. |
