Do Neural Retrievers Prefer Certain Documents? Evidence of Learned Relevance Priors

Francisco Valentini, Edgar Altszyler, Martin Fajcik

Neural retrievers are trained to estimate query-document relevance from annotated query-document pairs. Yet annotation protocols may not purely reflect relevance: they select only…

Investigating the Frequency Distortion of Word Embeddings and Its Impact on Bias Metrics

Francisco Valentini, Juan Cruz Sosa, Diego Fernandez Slezak +1

Recent research has shown that static word embeddings can encode word frequency information. However, little has been studied about this phenomenon and its effects on downstream ta…

On the Interpretability and Significance of Bias Metrics in Texts: a PMI-based Approach

Francisco Valentini, Germán Rosati, Damián Blasi +2

In recent years, word embeddings have been widely used to measure biases in texts. Even if they have proven to be effective in detecting a wide variety of biases, metrics based on…
