MLQA: Evaluating Cross-lingual Extractive Question Answering

4 code implementations ACL 2020 Patrick Lewis, Barlas Oğuz, Ruty Rinott, Sebastian Riedel, Holger Schwenk

An alternative to building large monolingual training datasets is to develop cross-lingual systems which can transfer to a target language without requiring training data in that language.

Dense Passage Retrieval for Open-Domain Question Answering

17 code implementations EMNLP 2020 Vladimir Karpukhin, Barlas Oğuz, Sewon Min, Patrick Lewis, Ledell Wu, Sergey Edunov, Danqi Chen, Wen-tau Yih

Open-domain question answering relies on efficient passage retrieval to select candidate contexts, where traditional sparse vector space models, such as TF-IDF or BM25, are the de facto method.

Answering Complex Open-Domain Questions with Multi-Hop Dense Retrieval

1 code implementation ICLR 2021 Wenhan Xiong, Xiang Lorraine Li, Srini Iyer, Jingfei Du, Patrick Lewis, William Yang Wang, Yashar Mehdad, Wen-tau Yih, Sebastian Riedel, Douwe Kiela, Barlas Oğuz

We propose a simple and efficient multi-hop dense retrieval approach for answering complex open-domain questions, which achieves state-of-the-art performance on two multi-hop datasets, HotpotQA and multi-evidence FEVER.

Salient Phrase Aware Dense Retrieval: Can a Dense Retriever Imitate a Sparse One?

2 code implementations13 Oct 2021 Xilun Chen, Kushal Lakhotia, Barlas Oğuz, Anchit Gupta, Patrick Lewis, Stan Peshterliev, Yashar Mehdad, Sonal Gupta, Wen-tau Yih

Despite their recent popularity and well-known advantages, dense retrievers still lag behind sparse methods such as BM25 in their ability to reliably match salient phrases and rare entities in the query and to generalize to out-of-domain data.

Boosted Dense Retriever

no code implementations NAACL 2022 Patrick Lewis, Barlas Oğuz, Wenhan Xiong, Fabio Petroni, Wen-tau Yih, Sebastian Riedel

DrBoost is trained in stages: each component model is learned sequentially and specialized by focusing only on retrieval mistakes made by the current ensemble.

The Web Is Your Oyster -- Knowledge-Intensive NLP against a Very Large Web Corpus

2 code implementations18 Dec 2021 Aleksandra Piktus, Fabio Petroni, Vladimir Karpukhin, Dmytro Okhonko, Samuel Broscheit, Gautier Izacard, Patrick Lewis, Barlas Oğuz, Edouard Grave, Wen-tau Yih, Sebastian Riedel

In order to address increasing demands of real-world applications, the research for knowledge-intensive NLP (KI-NLP) should advance by capturing the challenges of a truly open-domain environment: web-scale knowledge, lack of structure, inconsistent quality and noise.

CLIP-Layout: Style-Consistent Indoor Scene Synthesis with Semantic Furniture Embedding

no code implementations7 Mar 2023 Jingyu Liu, Wenhan Xiong, Ian Jones, Yixin Nie, Anchit Gupta, Barlas Oğuz

Whether heuristic or learned, these methods ignore instance-level visual attributes of objects, and as a result may produce visually less coherent scenes.

3DGen: Triplane Latent Diffusion for Textured Mesh Generation

no code implementations9 Mar 2023 Anchit Gupta, Wenhan Xiong, Yixin Nie, Ian Jones, Barlas Oğuz

We take another step along this direction, combining these developments in a two-step pipeline consisting of 1) a triplane VAE which can learn latent representations of textured meshes and 2) a conditional diffusion model which generates the triplane features.

Hierarchical Video-Moment Retrieval and Step-Captioning

1 code implementation CVPR 2023 Abhay Zala, Jaemin Cho, Satwik Kottur, Xilun Chen, Barlas Oğuz, Yasher Mehdad, Mohit Bansal

Our hierarchical benchmark consists of video retrieval, moment retrieval, and two novel moment segmentation and step captioning tasks.

VideoOFA: Two-Stage Pre-Training for Video-to-Text Generation

no code implementations4 May 2023 Xilun Chen, Lili Yu, Wenhan Xiong, Barlas Oğuz, Yashar Mehdad, Wen-tau Yih

We propose a new two-stage pre-training framework for video-to-text generation tasks such as video captioning and video question answering: A generative encoder-decoder model is first jointly pre-trained on massive image-text data to learn fundamental vision-language concepts, and then adapted to video data in an intermediate video-text pre-training stage to learn video-specific skills such as spatio-temporal reasoning.
