Chain of Retrieval: Multi-Aspect Iterative Search Expansion and Post-Order Search Aggregation for Full Paper Retrieval

  • 将论文拆解为多个视角,逐轮扩展检索并构建树状搜索路径
  • 在SCIFULLBENCH上超越现有基线,显著提升全篇论文检索准确率
  • 适合需要深度文献关联分析的研究者,尤其关注跨论文关系挖掘

科学论文检索,特别是作为文档到文档的检索任务,旨在针对一篇长篇查询论文,找出相关文献,而非短语查询。以往方法仅依赖摘要,将其嵌入稠密向量作为全文代理,并计算相似性。然而,摘要仅提供稀疏且高层次的概括,且这些方法仅优化一对一相似性,忽略了检索过程中相关论文间动态关联。为此,我们提出链式检索(Chain of Retrieval, COR),一种新颖的全文档检索迭代框架。COR将每篇查询论文分解为多个方面特定视图,与分段候选论文匹配,并通过将排名靠前的结果作为新查询来迭代扩展搜索,形成树状检索流程。随后以后序方式聚合该检索树:先在查询层级合并子节点,再递归合并至父节点,以捕捉跨轮次的层次关系。为验证,我们构建了SCIFULLBENCH,一个大规模基准数据集,提供查询与候选论文的完整及分段上下文。实验结果表明,COR显著优于现有检索基线。代码与数据集已公开于https://github.com/psw0021/Chain-of-Retrieval-Official。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scientific paper retrieval, particularly framed as document-to-document retrieval, aims to identify relevant papers in response to a long-form query paper, rather than a short query string. Previous approaches to this task have focused exclusively on abstracts, embedding them into dense vectors as surrogates for full documents and calculating similarity between them. Yet, abstracts offer only sparse and high-level summaries, and such methods primarily optimize one-to-one similarity, overlooking the dynamic relations that emerge across relevant papers during the retrieval process. To address this, we propose Chain of Retrieval(COR), a novel iterative framework for full-paper retrieval. Specifically, COR decomposes each query paper into multiple aspect-specific views, matches them against segmented candidate papers, and iteratively expands the search by promoting top-ranked results as new queries, thereby forming a tree-structured retrieval process. The resulting retrieval tree is then aggregated in a post-order manner: descendants are first combined at the query level, then recursively merged with their parent nodes, to capture hierarchical relations across iterations. To validate this, we present SCIFULLBENCH, a large-scale benchmark providing both complete and segmented contexts of full papers for queries and candidates, and results show that COR significantly outperforms existing retrieval baselines. Our code and dataset is available at https://github.com/psw0021/Chain-of-Retrieval-Official.
