SRAG: RAG with Structured Data Improves Vector Retrieval

Shalin Shah, Srikanth Ryali, Ramasubbu Venkatesh

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) provides the necessary informational grounding to LLMs in the form of chunks retrieved from a vector database or through web search. RAG could…

Multi-Document Financial Question Answering using LLMs

Shalin Shah, Srikanth Ryali, Ramasubbu Venkatesh

We propose two new methods for multi-document financial question answering. First, a method that uses semantic tagging, and then, queries the index to get the context (RAG_SEM). An…

Multi-Task Triplet Loss for Named Entity Recognition using Supplementary Text

Ryan Siskind, Shalin Shah

Retail item data contains many different forms of text like the title of an item, the description of an item, item name and reviews. It is of interest to identify the item name in…

Multi-Task Learning of Query Intent and Named Entities using Transfer Learning

Shalin Shah, Ryan Siskind

Named entity recognition (NER) has been studied extensively and the earlier algorithms were based on sequence labeling like Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and conditional random fields…

Analysis of Greenhouse Gases

Shalin Shah

Climate change is a result of a complex system of interactions of greenhouse gases (GHG), the ocean, land, ice, and clouds. Large climate change models use several computers and so…

Model Adaptation via Model Interpolation and Boosting for Web Search Ranking

Jianfeng Gao, Qiang Wu, Chris Burges +5

This paper explores two classes of model adaptation methods for Web search ranking: Model Interpolation and error-driven learning approaches based on a boosting algorithm. The resu…

Genetic Algorithm for a class of Knapsack Problems

Shalin Shah

The 0/1 knapsack problem is weakly NP-hard in that there exist pseudo-polynomial time algorithms based on dynamic programming that can solve it exactly. There are also the core bra…
