Ensemble Models for Detecting Wikidata Vandalism with Stacking - Team Honeyberry Vandalism Detector at WSDM Cup 2017

Abstract

The WSDM Cup 2017 is a binary classification task for classifying Wikidata revisions into vandalism and non-vandalism. This paper describes our method using some machine learning techniques such as under-sampling, feature selection, stacking and ensembles of models. We confirm the validity of each technique by calculating AUC-ROC of models using such techniques and not using them. Additionally, we analyze the results and gain useful insights into improving models for the vandalism detection task. The AUC-ROC of our final submission after the deadline resulted in 0.94412.

Offline A/B Testing of Slate Recommendation Systems with LLMs: Reducing the Dependency on Pre-Collected User Interaction Data

Slate recommender systems (RecSys) present users with ordered sets of interacting items (e.g., playlists). We investigate whether large language models (LLMs) can articulate pairwise preferences between slates for synthetic A/B testing of slate RecSys. We introduce a validation protocol measuring the alignment of synthetic preferences with classical RecSys metrics and their compliance with preference axioms, and use it to characterise how LLM pre-training and configuration affect slate preference articulation. Combined with the generalized Rao-Kupper model, synthetic LLM-based A/B testing recovers rankings that remain stable across utility weightings, whereas off-policy estimators are reliable only when the target utility matches the logged behavior. We position it as a screening stage between off-policy evaluation and live experiments: not a replacement for A/B testing, but a way to reserve its cost for the most promising candidates.

MM-BRIGHT: A Multi-Task Multimodal Benchmark for Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval

Existing retrieval benchmarks primarily consist of text-based queries where keyword or semantic matching is usually sufficient. Many real-world queries contain multimodal elements, particularly, images such as diagrams, charts, and screenshots that require intensive reasoning to identify relevant documents. To address this gap, we introduce MM-BRIGHT, the first multimodal benchmark for reasoning-intensive retrieval. Our dataset consists of 2,803 real-world queries spanning 29 diverse technical domains, with four tasks of increasing complexity: text-to-text, multimodal-to-text, multimodal-to-image, and multimodal-to-multimodal retrieval. Extensive evaluation reveals that state-of-the-art models struggle across all tasks: BM25 achieves only 8.5 nDCG@10 on text-only retrieval, while the best multimodal model Nomic-Vision reaches just 27.6 nDCG@10 on multimodal-to-text retrieval actually underperforming the best text-only model (DiVeR: 32.2). These results highlight substantial headroom and position MM-BRIGHT as a testbed for next-generation retrieval models that better integrate visual reasoning. Our code and data are available at https://github.com/mm-bright/MM-BRIGHT. See also our official website: https://mm-bright.github.io/.

From Ranked Documents to Reliable Contexts: An Answer-Oriented Context Construct Framework for AI Search

Traditional Web search follows a human-facing paradigm in which users inspect ranked documents and synthesize information themselves. In AI Search, retrieved documents instead serve as inputs to a generation model, shifting the retrieval objective from ranking documents by Search Satisfaction to constructing reliable context for correct answer generation. We formulate this shift as answer-oriented context construction through a three-stage framework: (1) Answer Support identifies candidate documents that contribute information to answer generation; (2) Content Trustworthiness assesses whether this information provides a reliable basis for correct answers from source, temporal, and factual perspectives; and (3) Context Organization selects, consolidates, and structures retained information under a finite context budget for consistent and robust generation. We further develop an industrial workflow spanning prior and posterior optimization and establish a systematic evaluation protocol covering both retrieval-side context and final answers. Experiments show consistent improvements at both Retrieval and Answer levels, demonstrating the effectiveness of the framework and its industrial implementation.
