WIT: Wikipedia-based Image Text Dataset for Multimodal Multilingual Machine Learning
Krishna Srinivasan, Karthik Raman, Jiecao Chen +2
The milestone improvements brought about by deep representation learning and pre-training techniques have led to large performance gains across downstream NLP, IR and Vision tasks.…
DiPair: Fast and Accurate Distillation for Trillion-Scale Text Matching and Pair Modeling
Jiecao Chen, Liu Yang, Karthik Raman +6
Pre-trained models like BERT (Devlin et al., 2018) have dominated NLP / IR applications such as single sentence classification, text pair classification, and question answering. Ho…
Leveraging Semantic and Lexical Matching to Improve the Recall of Document Retrieval Systems: A Hybrid Approach
Saar Kuzi, Mingyang Zhang, Cheng Li +2
Search engines often follow a two-phase paradigm where in the first stage (the retrieval stage) an initial set of documents is retrieved and in the second stage (the re-ranking sta…
Scalable Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering
Nicholas Monath, Avinava Dubey, Guru Guruganesh +9
The applicability of agglomerative clustering, for inferring both hierarchical and flat clustering, is limited by its scalability. Existing scalable hierarchical clustering methods…
Active Learning for Skewed Data Sets
Abbas Kazerouni, Qi Zhao, Jing Xie +2
Consider a sequential active learning problem where, at each round, an agent selects a batch of unlabeled data points, queries their labels and updates a binary classifier. While t…
Beyond 512 Tokens: Siamese Multi-depth Transformer-based Hierarchical Encoder for Long-Form Document Matching
Liu Yang, Mingyang Zhang, Cheng Li +2
Many natural language processing and information retrieval problems can be formalized as the task of semantic matching. Existing work in this area has been largely focused on match…
Learning-to-Rank with BERT in TF-Ranking
Shuguang Han, Xuanhui Wang, Mike Bendersky +1
This paper describes a machine learning algorithm for document (re)ranking, in which queries and documents are firstly encoded using BERT [1], and on top of that a learning-to-rank…
Self-Attentive Document Interaction Networks for Permutation Equivariant Ranking
Rama Kumar Pasumarthi, Xuanhui Wang, Michael Bendersky +1
How to leverage cross-document interactions to improve ranking performance is an important topic in information retrieval (IR) research. However, this topic has not been well-studi…
Estimating Position Bias without Intrusive Interventions
Aman Agarwal, Ivan Zaitsev, Xuanhui Wang +3
Presentation bias is one of the key challenges when learning from implicit feedback in search engines, as it confounds the relevance signal. While it was recently shown how counter…
TF-Ranking: Scalable TensorFlow Library for Learning-to-Rank
Rama Kumar Pasumarthi, Sebastian Bruch, Xuanhui Wang +7
Learning-to-Rank deals with maximizing the utility of a list of examples presented to the user, with items of higher relevance being prioritized. It has several practical applicati…
Learning Groupwise Multivariate Scoring Functions Using Deep Neural Networks
Qingyao Ai, Xuanhui Wang, Sebastian Bruch +3
While in a classification or a regression setting a label or a value is assigned to each individual document, in a ranking setting we determine the relevance ordering of the entire…
Offline Comparison of Ranking Functions using Randomized Data
Aman Agarwal, Xuanhui Wang, Cheng Li +2
Ranking functions return ranked lists of items, and users often interact with these items. How to evaluate ranking functions using historical interaction logs, also known as off-po…
