Document-level Relation Extraction (DocRE) is a more challenging task compared to its sentence-level counterpart. It aims to extract relations from multiple sentences at once. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised framework for DocRE…
When the world changes, so does the text that humans write about it. How do we build language models that can be easily updated to reflect these changes? One popular approach is retrieval-augmented generation, in which new documents are…
Modern retrieval pipelines increasingly rely on query reformulation and neural reranking to improve effectiveness, but this comes at a significant computational cost and introduces a fundamental tradeoff between recall and query drift.…
Code generation, the task of creating executable programs from natural language requirements, has recently seen tremendous advances through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, which enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to develop high-level…
Generative retrieval (GR) reformulates the Information Retrieval (IR) task as the generation of document identifiers (docIDs). Despite its promise, existing GR models exhibit poor generalization to newly added documents, often failing to…
Users try to articulate their complex information needs during search sessions by reformulating their queries. To make this process more effective, search engines provide related queries to help users in specifying the information need in…
Conversational search (CS) needs a holistic understanding of conversational inputs to retrieve relevant passages. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a retrieval shortcut in CS, which causes models to retrieve passages solely…
Software debugging, and program repair are among the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks in software engineering that would benefit a lot from automation. In this paper, we propose a novel automated program repair approach based…
Search and retrieval remains a major research topic in several domains, including computer graphics, computer vision, engineering design, etc. A search engine requires primarily an input search query and a database of items to search from.…
Recent rapid advancements in deep pre-trained language models and the introductions of large datasets have powered research in embedding-based dense retrieval. While several good research papers have emerged, many of them come with their…
Recent advances in open-domain QA have led to strong models based on dense retrieval, but only focused on retrieving textual passages. In this work, we tackle open-domain QA over tables for the first time, and show that retrieval can be…
The dual-encoder has become the de facto architecture for dense retrieval. Typically, it computes the latent representations of the query and document independently, thus failing to fully capture the interactions between the query and…
Large language model agents have made strong progress on software engineering, yet current systems suffer from a context coupling problem: the standard code editing interface conflates code inspection, modification planning, and edit…
The goal of screening prioritisation in systematic reviews is to identify relevant documents with high recall and rank them in early positions for review. This saves reviewing effort if paired with a stopping criterion, and speeds up review…
Image Retrieval aims to retrieve corresponding images based on a given query. In application scenarios, users intend to express their retrieval intent through various query styles. However, current retrieval tasks predominantly focus on…
Dense retrieval compresses texts into single embeddings ranked by cosine similarity. While efficient for recall, this interface is brittle for identity-level matching: minimal compositional edits (negation, role swaps) flip meaning yet…
Existing super-resolution (SR) models primarily focus on restoring local texture details, often neglecting the global semantic information within the scene. This oversight can lead to the omission of crucial semantic details or the…
The advent of transformer-based models such as BERT has led to the rise of neural ranking models. These models have improved the effectiveness of retrieval systems well beyond that of lexical term matching models such as BM25. While…
Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate code but often introduce security vulnerabilities, logical inconsistencies, and compilation errors. Prior work demonstrates that LLMs benefit substantially from structured feedback, static analysis,…
With distributed machine learning being a prominent technique for large-scale machine learning tasks, communication complexity has become a major bottleneck for speeding up training and scaling up machine numbers. In this paper, we propose…
