Overview of the EReL@MIR 2025 Multimodal Document Retrieval Challenge (Track 1)
The EReL@MIR 2025 Multimodal Document Retrieval Challenge invited teams to build retrieval systems handling both closed-set document page retrieval and open-domain Wikipedia passage retrieval from text and image queries. The competition attracted 22 teams with 586 submissions, with winning systems favoring decoder-based Multimodal-LLM embedders over traditional CLIP-style encoders.
