Dense Retrieval Adaptation using Target Domain Description
Helia Hashemi, Yong Zhuang, Sachith Sri Ram Kothur +3
In information retrieval (IR), domain adaptation is the process of adapting a retrieval model to a new domain whose data distribution is different from the source domain. Existing…
Generalized Weak Supervision for Neural Information Retrieval
Yen-Chieh Lien, Hamed Zamani, W. Bruce Croft
Neural ranking models (NRMs) have demonstrated effective performance in several information retrieval (IR) tasks. However, training NRMs often requires large-scale training data, w…
Evaluating Fairness in Argument Retrieval
Sachin Pathiyan Cherumanal, Damiano Spina, Falk Scholer +1
Existing commercial search engines often struggle to represent different perspectives of a search query. Argument retrieval systems address this limitation of search engines and pr…
Asking Clarifying Questions Based on Negative Feedback in Conversational Search
Keping Bi, Qingyao Ai, W. Bruce Croft
Users often need to look through multiple search result pages or reformulate queries when they have complex information-seeking needs. Conversational search systems make it possibl…
Passage Retrieval for Outside-Knowledge Visual Question Answering
Chen Qu, Hamed Zamani, Liu Yang +2
In this work, we address multi-modal information needs that contain text questions and images by focusing on passage retrieval for outside-knowledge visual question answering. This…
A Neural Passage Model for Ad-hoc Document Retrieval
Qingyao Ai, Brendan O Connor, W. Bruce Croft
Traditional statistical retrieval models often treat each document as a whole. In many cases, however, a document is relevant to a query only because a small part of it contain the…
