PrimeQA: The Prime Repository for State-of-the-Art Multilingual Question Answering Research and Development

1 code implementation23 Jan 2023 Avirup Sil, Jaydeep Sen, Bhavani Iyer, Martin Franz, Kshitij Fadnis, Mihaela Bornea, Sara Rosenthal, Scott McCarley, Rong Zhang, Vishwajeet Kumar, Yulong Li, Md Arafat Sultan, Riyaz Bhat, Radu Florian, Salim Roukos

The field of Question Answering (QA) has made remarkable progress in recent years, thanks to the advent of large pre-trained language models, newer realistic benchmark datasets with leaderboards, and novel algorithms for key components such as retrievers and readers.

Entity-Conditioned Question Generation for Robust Attention Distribution in Neural Information Retrieval

1 code implementation24 Apr 2022 Revanth Gangi Reddy, Md Arafat Sultan, Martin Franz, Avirup Sil, Heng Ji

On two public IR benchmarks, we empirically show that the proposed method helps improve both the model's attention patterns and retrieval performance, including in zero-shot settings.
