Leaving Vancouver after ICML’s closing fireworks 😁🎆

Heading to Toronto for a few days, then off to
@aclmeeting.bsky.social to present:

"Collapse of Dense Retrievers"
A work by @mohsen-fayyaz.bsky.social that I was fortunate to collaborate on.

Also co-presenting two other papers…🧵 [1/4]

I’ll be at @icmlconf.bsky.social next week presenting NoLiMa!
Poster on Tue July 15, 4:30–7pm (E-2312).

Happy to grab a coffee and chat about long-context, memory, research, or just to catch up.

I’ll be in Toronto for a couple of days after the conference, let me know if you’re around!

When multiple biases combine, retrievers fail catastrophically:
📉 Answer-containing docs ranked <3% of the time over a synthetic biased doc with no answer!
