The Future of AI Interaction: True Multimodal Conversations

Date:

This presentation introduces our work on test-time scaling strategies for generative retrieval in multimodal conversational recommendations. We demonstrate how test-time reranking can significantly improve conversational product retrieval with minimal overhead.

Key Topics Covered

  • Introduction to test-time scaling in conversational search
  • Challenges with existing multimodal retrievers in iterative dialogues
  • Test-time reranking (TTR) mechanism design
  • Experimental results showing 14.5 points improvement in MRR and 10.6 points in nDCG@1
  • Enhanced datasets for future research

The slides provide a comprehensive overview of our methodology and experimental findings in this important but underexplored area of conversational AI.
