| contents | We introduce a retrieval approach leveraging Support Vector Regression (SVR) ensembles, bootstrap aggregation (bagging), and embedding spaces on the German Dataset for Legal Information Retrieval (GerDaLIR). By conceptualizing the retrieval task in terms of multiple binary needle-in-a-haystack subtasks, we show improved recall over the baselines (0.849 > 0.803 | 0.829) using our voting ensemble, suggesting promising initial results, without training or fine-tuning any deep learning models. Our approach holds potential for further enhancement, particularly through refining the encoding models and optimizing hyperparameters. |
