Improving Query Representations for Dense Retrieval with Pseudo Relevance Feedback

HongChien Yu, Chenyan Xiong, Jamie Callan

Dense retrieval systems conduct first-stage retrieval using embedded representations and simple similarity metrics to match a query to documents. Its effectiveness depends on encod…

COIL: Revisit Exact Lexical Match in Information Retrieval with Contextualized Inverted List

Luyu Gao, Zhuyun Dai, Jamie Callan

Classical information retrieval systems such as BM25 rely on exact lexical match and carry out search efficiently with inverted list index. Recent neural IR models shifts towards s…

Condenser: a Pre-training Architecture for Dense Retrieval

Luyu Gao, Jamie Callan

Pre-trained Transformer language models (LM) have become go-to text representation encoders. Prior research fine-tunes deep LMs to encode text sequences such as sentences and passa…

Assessing the Benefits of Model Ensembles in Neural Re-Ranking for Passage Retrieval

Luís Borges, Bruno Martins, Jamie Callan

Our work aimed at experimentally assessing the benefits of model ensembling within the context of neural methods for passage reranking. Starting from relatively standard neural mod…
