| 2025 | CLAP: Coreference-Linked Augmentation for Passage RetrievalabstractLarge Language Model (LLM)-based passage expansion has shown promise for enhancing first-stage retrieval, but often underperforms with dense retrievers due to semantic drift and misalignment with their pretrained semantic space. Beyond this, only a portion of a passage is typically relevant to a query, while the rest introduces noise-an issue compounded by chunking techniques that break coreferential continuity. We propose Coreference-Linked Augmentation for Passage Retrieval (CLAP), a lightweight LLM-based expansion framework that segments passages into coherent chunks, resolves coreference chains, and generates localized pseudo-queries aligned with dense retriever representations. A simple fusion of global topical signals and fine-grained subtopic signals achieves robust performance across domains. CLAP yields consistent gains even as retriever strength increases, enabling first-stage retrieval to match or surpass second-stage rerankers such as BM25 + MonoT5-3B-exceeding the reranker by up to +20.68 nDCG@10 on ArguAna. These improvements are especially notable in out-of-domain settings, where conventional LLM-based expansion methods relying on domain knowledge often falter. CLAP instead adopts a logic-centric pipeline that enables robust, domain-agnostic generalization. Huanwei Xu, Lin Xu 0004 |
