tomaarsen · x · 2026-10-23

NLP & AI Lab at Korea University released KURE, a complete Korean-English retrieval toolkit usable via Sentence Transformers, covering document indexing to candidate reranking. The collection includes dense models KURE-v1/v2/v3 (0.1B–1B), Sparse-base/nano for sparse indexing, and CrossEncoder rerankers: a 1.7B base and a 149M nano model. The author demos nano reranking moving a photosynthesis answer to the top; scores are relevance logits where higher is better even when negative. All open on Hugging Face under nlpai-lab.
