MultiVENT 2.0: A Massive Multilingual Benchmark for Event-Centric Video Retrieval
Reno Kriz, Kate Sanders, David Etter +10
Efficiently retrieving and synthesizing information from large-scale multimodal collections has become a critical challenge. However, existing video retrieval datasets suffer from…
On the Evaluation of Machine-Generated Reports
James Mayfield, Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie +10
Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled new ways to satisfy information needs. Although great strides have been made in applying them to settings like document ranking and short-…
Contextualization with SPLADE for High Recall Retrieval
Eugene Yang
High Recall Retrieval (HRR), such as eDiscovery and medical systematic review, is a search problem that optimizes the cost of retrieving most relevant documents in a given collecti…
Language Fairness in Multilingual Information Retrieval
Eugene Yang, Thomas Jänich, James Mayfield +1
Multilingual information retrieval (MLIR) considers the problem of ranking documents in several languages for a query expressed in a language that may differ from any of those lang…
Distillation for Multilingual Information Retrieval
Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, James Mayfield
Recent work in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in different languages, has shown the benefit of the Translate-Distill framework that tr…
PLAID SHIRTTT for Large-Scale Streaming Dense Retrieval
Dawn Lawrie, Efsun Kayi, Eugene Yang +2
PLAID, an efficient implementation of the ColBERT late interaction bi-encoder using pretrained language models for ranking, consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance in mo…
Efficiency-Effectiveness Tradeoff of Probabilistic Structured Queries for Cross-Language Information Retrieval
Eugene Yang, Suraj Nair, Dawn Lawrie +3
Probabilistic Structured Queries (PSQ) is a cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) method that uses translation probabilities statistically derived from aligned corpora. PSQ i…
Extending Translate-Train for ColBERT-X to African Language CLIR
Eugene Yang, Dawn J. Lawrie, Paul McNamee +1
This paper describes the submission runs from the HLTCOE team at the CIRAL CLIR tasks for African languages at FIRE 2023. Our submissions use machine translation models to translat…
HLTCOE at TREC 2023 NeuCLIR Track
Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, James Mayfield
The HLTCOE team applied PLAID, an mT5 reranker, and document translation to the TREC 2023 NeuCLIR track. For PLAID we included a variety of models and training techniques -- the En…
Overview of the TREC 2023 NeuCLIR Track
Dawn Lawrie, Sean MacAvaney, James Mayfield +4
The principal goal of the TREC Neural Cross-Language Information Retrieval (NeuCLIR) track is to study the impact of neural approaches to cross-language information retrieval. The…
Translate-Distill: Learning Cross-Language Dense Retrieval by Translation and Distillation
Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, James Mayfield +2
Prior work on English monolingual retrieval has shown that a cross-encoder trained using a large number of relevance judgments for query-document pairs can be used as a teacher to…
