Qwen 2.5 powers multi-turn retrieval system to top SemEval ranks

Researchers have developed a three-stage retrieval system for multi-turn conversations, enhancing accuracy in information retrieval tasks. The system first refines context-dependent queries using a fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B model to create standalone questions. It then employs a hybrid search combining BM25 and dense vector retrieval, fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion, before a cross-encoder model reranks the results for improved precision. This approach achieved a notable nDCG@5 score in a recent SemEval task, outperforming many other systems. AI

    Caraman at SemEval-2026 Task 8: Three-Stage Multi-Turn Retrieval with Query Rewriting, Hybrid Search, and Cross-Encoder Reranking

    We describe our system for SemEval-2026 Task 8 (MTRAGEval), participating in Task A (Retrieval) across four English-language domains. Our approach employs a three-stage pipeline: (1) query rewriting via a LoRA-fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B model that transforms context-dependent follow-…
