Revela: Dense Retriever Learning via Language Modeling

Fengyu Cai, Tong Chen, Xinran Zhao +5

Dense retrievers play a vital role in accessing external and specialized knowledge to augment language models (LMs). Training dense retrievers typically requires annotated query-do…

: Enhancing Retriever Generalization for Scientific Domain through Complementary Granularity

Fengyu Cai, Xinran Zhao, Tong Chen +4

Recent studies show the growing significance of document retrieval in the generation of LLMs, i.e., RAG, within the scientific domain by bridging their knowledge gap. However, dens…

Beyond Relevance: Evaluate and Improve Retrievers on Perspective Awareness

Xinran Zhao, Tong Chen, Sihao Chen +2

The task of Information Retrieval (IR) requires a system to identify relevant documents based on users' information needs. In real-world scenarios, retrievers are expected to not o…

Dense X Retrieval: What Retrieval Granularity Should We Use?

Tong Chen, Hongwei Wang, Sihao Chen +5

Dense retrieval has become a prominent method to obtain relevant context or world knowledge in open-domain NLP tasks. When we use a learned dense retriever on a retrieval corpus at…

Sub-Sentence Encoder: Contrastive Learning of Propositional Semantic Representations

Sihao Chen, Hongming Zhang, Tong Chen +7

We introduce sub-sentence encoder, a contrastively-learned contextual embedding model for fine-grained semantic representation of text. In contrast to the standard practice with se…
