🎄 PyTerrier Advent 24/25: Removing low-quality docs can boost search quality and cut indexing costs. Our SIGIR’24 paper QT5 trains a T5 model to filter passages at indexing time—easy to integrate, and works with dense, PISA, or SPLADE indexers too.

🎄 PyTerrier Advent 23/25: Results too homogeneous? Try a diversification reranker. Shown: implicit MMR on BM25 or dense retrieval—but explicit methods like xQuAD (@rodrygo_santos) are easy too.
