Honored to win the ICTIR Best Paper Honorable Mention Award for "Axioms for Retrieval-Augmented Generation"!
Our new axioms are integrated with ir_axioms: github.com/webis-de/ir_axiom…
Nice to see axiomatic IR gaining momentum. – at Padua, Veneto

Thank you @cadurosar for shout-out of Lightning IR in the LSR tutorial at #SIGIR2025
If you want to fine your own LSR models, check out our framework at github.com/webis-de/lightnin…

Do not forget to participate in the #TREC2025 Tip-of-the-Tongue (ToT) Track :)
The corpus and baselines (with run files) are now available and easily accessible via the ir_datasets API and the HuggingFace Datasets API.
More details are available at: trec-tot.github.io/guideline…

Our paper on self-distillation for training bi-encoders got accepted at #ICTIR2025! By exploiting pretrained encoder capabilities, our approach eliminates expensive teacher models and batch sampling while maintaining the same effectiveness.

📢 Our paper "The Viability of Crowdsourcing for RAG Evaluation" has been accepted to #SIGIR2025 ! We compared how good humans and LLMs are at writing and judging RAG responses, assembling 1800+ responses across 3 styles, and 47K+ pairwise judgments in 7 quality dimensions. 🧵➡️

Not leaving quite yet, but I’m finding my Bluesky feed less noisy and more enjoyable.
@martinpotthast created a starter pack with some members of the IR community, which we hope it keeps growing!
