Teaching a New Dog Old Tricks: Resurrecting Multilingual Retrieval Using Zero-shot Learning
While billions of non-English speaking users rely on search engines every day, the problem of ad-hoc information retrieval is rarely studied for non-English languages.
Ranking Significant Discrepancies in Clinical Reports
This allows medical practitioners to easily identify and learn from the reports in which their interpretation most substantially differed from that of the attending physician (who finalized the report).
Efficient Document Re-Ranking for Transformers by Precomputing Term Representations
Deep pretrained transformer networks are effective at various ranking tasks, such as question answering and ad-hoc document ranking.
Training Curricula for Open Domain Answer Re-Ranking
We show that the proposed heuristics can be used to build a training curriculum that down-weights difficult samples early in the training process.
Expansion via Prediction of Importance with Contextualization
We also observe that the performance is additive with the current leading first-stage retrieval methods, further narrowing the gap between inexpensive and cost-prohibitive passage ranking approaches.
Attend to Medical Ontologies: Content Selection for Clinical Abstractive Summarization
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network is a well-established model for text summarization task.
SLEDGE: A Simple Yet Effective Baseline for COVID-19 Scientific Knowledge Search
In this work, we present a search system called SLEDGE, which utilizes SciBERT to effectively re-rank articles.
Interaction Matching for Long-Tail Multi-Label Classification
We present an elegant and effective approach for addressing limitations in existing multi-label classification models by incorporating interaction matching, a concept shown to be useful for ad-hoc search result ranking.
GUIR at SemEval-2020 Task 12: Domain-Tuned Contextualized Models for Offensive Language Detection
Offensive language detection is an important and challenging task in natural language processing.
