Document-as-Image Representations Fall Short for Scientific Retrieval

Ghazal Khalighinejad, Raghuveer Thirukovalluru, Alexander H. Oh +1

Many recent document embedding models are trained on document-as-image representations, embedding rendered pages as images rather than the underlying source. Meanwhile, existing be…

Approximating CKY with Transformers

Ghazal Khalighinejad, Ollie Liu, Sam Wiseman

We investigate the ability of transformer models to approximate the CKY algorithm, using them to directly predict a sentence's parse and thus avoid the CKY algorithm's cubic depend…

Galloping in fast-growth natural merge sorts

Elahe Ghasemi, Vincent Jugé, Ghazal Khalighinejad +1

We study the impact of merging routines in merge-based sorting algorithms. More precisely, we focus on the galloping routine that TimSort uses to merge monotonic sub-arrays, hereaf…
