| Challenge: | Existing approaches passively rely on first-stage dense retrievers, which leads to two limitations: failing to retrieve relevant passages in semantically distinct clusters and failing to propagate relevance signals to the broader corpus. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that propagates sparse LLM relevance signals across the embedding space to guide global exploration. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that the proposed framework outperforms existing approaches under the same budget on all four datasets. |
