Attention Calibration for Position-Fair Dense Information Retrieval
arXiv:2606.02737v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense retrieval models exhibit positional bias: retrieval effectiveness degrades when relevant information appears later in a passage (Zeng et al., 2025). We ask whether this bias can be reduced at inference time, without retraining and without sacrificing overall retrieval effectiveness. To this end, we adapt inference-time attention calibration (Schuhmacher et al., 2026) to downstream retrieval and extend it with a strength coefficient lambda...
