Title: A Parametric Memory Head for Continual Generative Retrieval

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.23388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative information retrieval (GenIR) consolidates retrieval into a single neural model that decodes document identifiers (docids) directly from queries. While this model-as-index paradigm offers architectural simplicity, it is poorly suited to dynamic document collections. Unlike modular systems, where indexes are easily updated, GenIR's knowledge is parametrically encoded in its weights; consequently, standard adaptation methods such as full
