We study few-shot reranking for multi-hop QA with open-domain questions. To alleviate the need for a large number of labeled question-document pairs for retriever training, we propose PromptRank, which relies on large language models prompting for multi-hop path reranking. PromptRank first constructs an instruction-based prompt that includes a candidate document path and then computes the relevance score between a given question and the path based on the conditional likelihood of the question given the path prompt according to a language model. PromptRank yields strong retrieval performance on HotpotQA with only 128 training examples compared to state-of-the-art methods trained on thousands of examples -- 73.6 recall@10 by PromptRank vs. 77.8 by PathRetriever and 77.5 by multi-hop dense retrieval.

  1. ASRank: Zero-Shot Re-Ranking with Answer Scent for Document Retrieval

    cs.CL 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    ASRank re-ranks retrieved documents by scoring how well each document supports a zero-shot answer scent generated by a large LLM, beating UPR and RankGPT on several QA datasets.
