An Approximate Algorithm for Maximum Inner Product Search over Streaming Sparse Vectors

Sebastian Bruch, Franco Maria Nardini, Amir Ingber +1

Maximum Inner Product Search or top-k retrieval on sparse vectors is well-understood in information retrieval, with a number of mature algorithms that solve it exactly. However, al…

An Analysis of Fusion Functions for Hybrid Retrieval

Sebastian Bruch, Siyu Gai, Amir Ingber

We study hybrid search in text retrieval where lexical and semantic search are fused together with the intuition that the two are complementary in how they model relevance. In part…

SDR: Efficient Neural Re-ranking using Succinct Document Representation

Nachshon Cohen, Amit Portnoy, Besnik Fetahu +1

BERT based ranking models have achieved superior performance on various information retrieval tasks. However, the large number of parameters and complex self-attention operation co…

Strong Successive Refinability and Rate-Distortion-Complexity Tradeoff

Albert No, Amir Ingber, Tsachy Weissman

We investigate the second order asymptotics (source dispersion) of the successive refinement problem. Similarly to the classical definition of a successively refinable source, we s…

Compression for Quadratic Similarity Queries: Finite Blocklength and Practical Schemes

Fabian Steiner, Steffen Dempfle, Amir Ingber +1

We study the problem of compression for the purpose of similarity identification, where similarity is measured by the mean square Euclidean distance between vectors. While the asym…

The Minimal Compression Rate for Similarity Identification

Amir Ingber, Tsachy Weissman

Traditionally, data compression deals with the problem of concisely representing a data source, e.g. a sequence of letters, for the purpose of eventual reproduction (either exact o…
