Ranked List Truncation for Large Language Model-based Re-Ranking

1 code implementation28 Apr 2024 Chuan Meng, Negar Arabzadeh, Arian Askari, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Maarten de Rijke

RLT is crucial for re-ranking as it can improve re-ranking efficiency by sending variable-length candidate lists to a re-ranker on a per-query basis.

Query Performance Prediction using Relevance Judgments Generated by Large Language Models

1 code implementation1 Apr 2024 Chuan Meng, Negar Arabzadeh, Arian Askari, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Maarten de Rijke

This allows us to predict any IR evaluation measure using the generated relevance judgments as pseudo-labels; Also, this allows us to interpret predicted IR evaluation measures, and identify, track and rectify errors in generated relevance judgments to improve QPP quality.

CAUSE: Counterfactual Assessment of User Satisfaction Estimation in Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems

no code implementations27 Mar 2024 Amin Abolghasemi, Zhaochun Ren, Arian Askari, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Maarten de Rijke, Suzan Verberne

In this work, we leverage large language models (LLMs) and unlock their ability to generate satisfaction-aware counterfactual dialogues to augment the set of original dialogues of a test collection.

Measuring Bias in a Ranked List using Term-based Representations

no code implementations9 Mar 2024 Amin Abolghasemi, Leif Azzopardi, Arian Askari, Maarten de Rijke, Suzan Verberne

With TExFAIR, we extend the AWRF framework to allow for the evaluation of fairness in settings with term-based representations of groups in documents in a ranked list.

Enhancing Documents with Multidimensional Relevance Statements in Cross-encoder Re-ranking

no code implementations19 Jun 2023 Rishabh Upadhyay, Arian Askari, Gabriella Pasi, Marco Viviani

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to consider multiple dimensions of relevance beyond topicality in cross-encoder re-ranking.

Generating Synthetic Documents for Cross-Encoder Re-Rankers: A Comparative Study of ChatGPT and Human Experts

1 code implementation3 May 2023 Arian Askari, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Evangelos Kanoulas, Suzan Verberne

We introduce a new dataset, ChatGPT-RetrievalQA, and compare the effectiveness of models fine-tuned on LLM-generated and human-generated data.

Retrieval for Extremely Long Queries and Documents with RPRS: a Highly Efficient and Effective Transformer-based Re-Ranker

1 code implementation2 Mar 2023 Arian Askari, Suzan Verberne, Amin Abolghasemi, Wessel Kraaij, Gabriella Pasi

Furthermore, our method solves the problem of the low-resource training in QBD retrieval tasks as it does not need large amounts of training data, and has only three parameters with a limited range that can be optimized with a grid search even if a small amount of labeled data is available.

Injecting the BM25 Score as Text Improves BERT-Based Re-rankers

1 code implementation23 Jan 2023 Arian Askari, Amin Abolghasemi, Gabriella Pasi, Wessel Kraaij, Suzan Verberne

In this paper we propose a novel approach for combining first-stage lexical retrieval models and Transformer-based re-rankers: we inject the relevance score of the lexical model as a token in the middle of the input of the cross-encoder re-ranker.

On the Interpolation of Contextualized Term-based Ranking with BM25 for Query-by-Example Retrieval

1 code implementation11 Oct 2022 Amin Abolghasemi, Arian Askari, Suzan Verberne

In this work, we examine the generalizability of two of these deep contextualized term-based models in the context of query-by-example (QBE) retrieval in which a seed document acts as the query to find relevant documents.

LeiBi@COLIEE 2022: Aggregating Tuned Lexical Models with a Cluster-driven BERT-based Model for Case Law Retrieval

no code implementations26 May 2022 Arian Askari, Georgios Peikos, Gabriella Pasi, Suzan Verberne

Our methodology consists of four steps; in detail, given a legal case as a query, we reformulate it by extracting various meaningful sentences or n-grams.

Expert Finding in Legal Community Question Answering

1 code implementation19 Jan 2022 Arian Askari, Suzan Verberne, Gabriella Pasi

In the legal domain, there is a large knowledge gap between the experts and the searchers, and the content on the legal QA websites consist of a combination formal and informal communication.

DoSSIER@COLIEE 2021: Leveraging dense retrieval and summarization-based re-ranking for case law retrieval

1 code implementation9 Aug 2021 Sophia Althammer, Arian Askari, Suzan Verberne, Allan Hanbury

We address this challenge by combining lexical and dense retrieval methods on the paragraph-level of the cases for the first stage retrieval.
