VLM2Vec converts state-of-the-art vision-language models into universal multimodal embedders via contrastive training on the new MMEB benchmark, delivering 10-20% absolute gains over prior models on both in-distribution and out-of-distribution tasks.
PartRep selects high-NLL tokens via a lightweight early-exit gate for partial prompt repetition, retaining most full-repetition gains at 59.4% KV cache and 79% prefill FLOPs on eight benchmarks.
ReverseEOL improves training-free text embeddings by combining forward and reversed-text representations from frozen decoder-only LLMs.
A prompt-and-layer tweak lets pretrained multimodal LLMs serve as competitive retrieval systems without any additional training, with reranking framed as multiple-choice questions to reduce label bias.
Controlled ablations of 38 models find MLM superior to CLM on representation benchmarks while CLM offers better data efficiency and stability; a biphasic CLM-then-MLM schedule is optimal under fixed compute and improves when initialized from pretrained CLM models.
Fine-tuned decoder-only LLMs achieve up to 40.4% higher MAP than UniXcoder on CoSQA+ for code search, with non-monotonic size scaling and data composition sensitivity.

Should We Still Pretrain Encoders with Masked Language Modeling?
Controlled ablations of 38 models find MLM superior to CLM on representation benchmarks while CLM offers better data efficiency and stability; a biphasic CLM-then-MLM schedule is optimal under fixed compute and improves when initialized from pretrained CLM models.
