Exact Nearest-Neighbor Search on Energy-Efficient FPGA Devices
Patrizio Dazzi, William Guglielmo, Franco Maria Nardini +2
This paper investigates the usage of FPGA devices for energy-efficient exact kNN search in high-dimension latent spaces. This work intercepts a relevant trend that tries to support…
Blending Learning to Rank and Dense Representations for Efficient and Effective Cascades
Franco Maria Nardini, Raffaele Perego, Nicola Tonellotto +1
We investigate the exploitation of both lexical and neural relevance signals for ad-hoc passage retrieval. Our exploration involves a large-scale training dataset in which dense ne…
Efficient Conversational Search via Topical Locality in Dense Retrieval
Cristina Ioana Muntean, Franco Maria Nardini, Raffaele Perego +2
Pre-trained language models have been widely exploited to learn dense representations of documents and queries for information retrieval. While previous efforts have primarily focu…
Early Exit Strategies for Approximate k-NN Search in Dense Retrieval
Francesco Busolin, Claudio Lucchese, Franco Maria Nardini +3
Learned dense representations are a popular family of techniques for encoding queries and documents using high-dimensional embeddings, which enable retrieval by performing approxim…
