Guided Query Refinement: Multimodal Hybrid Retrieval with Test-Time Optimization

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Multimodal encoders have pushed the boundaries of visual document retrieval, matching textual query tokens directly to image patches and achieving state-of-the-art performance on public benchmarks. Recent models relying on this paradigm have massively scaled the …
