While existing work uses a static number of examples during inference for each data instance, in this paper we propose a novel methodology of dynamically adapting the number of examples as per the data.

While the increasing complexity of the search models have been able to demonstrate improvements in effectiveness (measured in terms of relevance of top-retrieved results), a question worthy of a thorough inspection is - "how explainable are these models?

Additionally, to further improve retrieval effectiveness with this selective PRF approach, we make use of the model's confidence estimates to combine the information from the original and expanded queries.

The recent success in language generation capabilities of large language models (LLMs), such as GPT, Bard, Llama etc., can potentially lead to concerns about their possible misuse in inducing mass agitation and communal hatred via generating fake news and spreading misinformation.

Research in scientific disciplines evolves, often rapidly, over time with the emergence of novel methodologies and their associated terminologies.

Neural retrieval models (NRMs) have been shown to outperform their statistical counterparts owing to their ability to capture semantic meaning via dense document representations.

However, in this paper we argue that the annotation effort can be substantially reduced if the depth of the pool is made a variable quantity for each query, the rationale being that the number of documents relevant to the information need can widely vary across queries.

Despite the retrieval effectiveness of queries being mutually independent of one another, the evaluation of query performance prediction (QPP) systems has been carried out by measuring rank correlation over an entire set of queries.

In contrast to unsupervised approaches that rely on various statistics of document score distributions, our approach is entirely data-driven.

An important characteristic of QPP evaluation is that, since the ground truth retrieval effectiveness for QPP evaluation can be measured with different metrics, the ground truth itself is not absolute, which is in contrast to other retrieval tasks, such as that of ad-hoc retrieval.

In this paper, we propose a general framework for mitigating the disparities of the predicted classes with respect to secondary attributes within the data (e. g., race, gender etc.).

This means that an adversarial crafted image which is sufficiently close (visually indistinguishable) to its representative class can often be misclassified to be a member of a different class.

An automated contextual suggestion algorithm is likely to recommend contextually appropriate and personalized 'points-of-interest' (POIs) to a user, if it can extract information from the user's preference history (exploitation) and effectively blend it with the user's current contextual information (exploration) to predict a POI's 'appropriateness' in the current context.

While the fast-paced inception of novel tasks and new datasets helps foster active research in a community towards interesting directions, keeping track of the abundance of research activity in different areas on different datasets is likely to become increasingly difficult.

Motivated by the adage that a {``}picture is worth a thousand words{''} it can be reasoned that automatically enriching the textual content of a document with relevant images can increase the readability of a document.
