'One size doesn't fit all': Learning how many Examples to use for In-Context Learning for Improved Text Classification

no code implementations11 Mar 2024 Manish Chandra, Debasis Ganguly, Yiwen Li, Iadh Ounis

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.

Evaluating the Explainability of Neural Rankers

no code implementations4 Mar 2024 Saran Pandian, Debasis Ganguly, Sean MacAvaney

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?

A Deep Learning Approach for Selective Relevance Feedback

no code implementations20 Jan 2024 Suchana Datta, Debasis Ganguly, Sean MacAvaney, Derek Greene

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.

Fighting Fire with Fire: Adversarial Prompting to Generate a Misinformation Detection Dataset

no code implementations9 Jan 2024 Shrey Satapara, Parth Mehta, Debasis Ganguly, Sandip Modha

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.

Explain like I am BM25: Interpreting a Dense Model's Ranked-List with a Sparse Approximation

1 code implementation25 Apr 2023 Michael Llordes, Debasis Ganguly, Sumit Bhatia, Chirag Agarwal

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

Query-specific Variable Depth Pooling via Query Performance Prediction towards Reducing Relevance Assessment Effort

no code implementations23 Apr 2023 Debasis Ganguly, Emine Yilmaz

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.

On the Feasibility and Robustness of Pointwise Evaluation of Query Performance Prediction

no code implementations1 Apr 2023 Suchana Datta, Debasis Ganguly, Derek Greene, Mandar Mitra

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.

Deep-QPP: A Pairwise Interaction-based Deep Learning Model for Supervised Query Performance Prediction

no code implementations15 Feb 2022 Suchana Datta, Debasis Ganguly, Derek Greene, Mandar Mitra

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

An Analysis of Variations in the Effectiveness of Query Performance Prediction

no code implementations13 Feb 2022 Debasis Ganguly, Suchana Datta, Mandar Mitra, Derek Greene

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.

Multi-Objective Few-shot Learning for Fair Classification

no code implementations5 Oct 2021 Ishani Mondal, Procheta Sen, Debasis Ganguly

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.).

Tessellated 2D Convolution Networks: A Robust Defence against Adversarial Attacks

no code implementations29 Sep 2021 Swarnava Das, Pabitra Mitra, Debasis Ganguly

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.

ALEX: Active Learning based Enhancement of a Model's Explainability

no code implementations2 Sep 2020 Ishani Mondal, Debasis Ganguly

An active learning (AL) algorithm seeks to construct an effective classifier with a minimal number of labeled examples in a bootstrapping manner.

Kernel Density Estimation based Factored Relevance Model for Multi-Contextual Point-of-Interest Recommendation

no code implementations28 Jun 2020 Anirban Chakraborty, Debasis Ganguly, Annalina Caputo, Gareth J. F. Jones

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.
