Abstract
Abstract Recently, large pretrained language models (PLMs) have led a revolution in the information retrieval community. In most PLMs‐based retrieval frameworks, the ranking performance broadly depends on the model structure and the semantic complexity of the input text. Sequence‐to‐sequence generative models for question answering or text generation have proven to be competitive, so we wonder whether these models can improve ranking effectiveness by enhancing input semantics. This article introduces SE‐BERT, a semantically enhanced bidirectional encoder representation from transformers (BERT) based ranking framework that captures more semantic information by modifying the input text. SE‐BERT utilizes a pretrained generative language model to summarize both sides of the candidate passage and concatenate them into a new input sequence, allowing BERT to acquire more semantic information within the constraints of the input sequence's length. Experimental results from two Text Retrieval Conference datasets demonstrate that our approach's effectiveness increasing as the length of the input text increases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
