ColBERT: Efficient and Effective Passage Search via Contextualized Late Interaction over BERT

8 code implementations27 Apr 2020 Omar Khattab, Matei Zaharia

ColBERT introduces a late interaction architecture that independently encodes the query and the document using BERT and then employs a cheap yet powerful interaction step that models their fine-grained similarity.

Learning Passage Impacts for Inverted Indexes

1 code implementation24 Apr 2021 Antonio Mallia, Omar Khattab, Nicola Tonellotto, Torsten Suel

Neural information retrieval systems typically use a cascading pipeline, in which a first-stage model retrieves a candidate set of documents and one or more subsequent stages re-rank this set using contextualized language models such as BERT.

Hindsight: Posterior-guided training of retrievers for improved open-ended generation

no code implementations ICLR 2022 Ashwin Paranjape, Omar Khattab, Christopher Potts, Matei Zaharia, Christopher D. Manning

Many text generation systems benefit from using a retriever to retrieve passages from a textual knowledge corpus (e. g., Wikipedia) which are then provided as additional context to the generator.

Introducing Neural Bag of Whole-Words with ColBERTer: Contextualized Late Interactions using Enhanced Reduction

no code implementations24 Mar 2022 Sebastian Hofstätter, Omar Khattab, Sophia Althammer, Mete Sertkan, Allan Hanbury

Recent progress in neural information retrieval has demonstrated large gains in effectiveness, while often sacrificing the efficiency and interpretability of the neural model compared to classical approaches.

PLAID: An Efficient Engine for Late Interaction Retrieval

1 code implementation19 May 2022 Keshav Santhanam, Omar Khattab, Christopher Potts, Matei Zaharia

PLAID uses centroid interaction as well as centroid pruning, a mechanism for sparsifying the bag of centroids, within a highly-optimized engine to reduce late interaction search latency by up to 7$\times$ on a GPU and 45$\times$ on a CPU against vanilla ColBERTv2, while continuing to deliver state-of-the-art retrieval quality.

In-Context Learning for Extreme Multi-Label Classification

2 code implementations22 Jan 2024 Karel D'Oosterlinck, Omar Khattab, François Remy, Thomas Demeester, Chris Develder, Christopher Potts

Multi-label classification problems with thousands of classes are hard to solve with in-context learning alone, as language models (LMs) might lack prior knowledge about the precise classes or how to assign them, and it is generally infeasible to demonstrate every class in a prompt.
