Towards Critical IR Theories and Practices

This feed aggregates multiple arXiv CS/IR papers (July 2, 2026) covering generative and LLM-based recommender/re-ranking systems (GenPage, GR2, ShopX), session-aware RAG and KB reorganization, cross-modal and binary-hashing retrieval (GNAH), multimodal datasets and visualization methods (Information Terra), and an open-source freeway-extraction tool for OpenStreetMap. Key technical advances include end-to-end transformer homepage generation, semantic-ID tokenizers and RL/distillation for re-rankers, co-occurrence-aware KB clustering for session coverage, model-native item-fulfillment via seman
