Purpose: Terminology is the set of technical words or expressions used in specific contexts, which denotes the core concept in a formal discipline and is usually applied in the fields of machine translation, information retrieval,…
The main contribution of this paper is to design an Information Retrieval (IR) technique based on Algorithmic Information Theory (using the Normalized Compression Distance- NCD), statistical techniques (outliers), and novel organization of…
Multilingual Information Retrieval is increasingly important in real-world search settings, where users issue queries over mixed-language corpora. Existing evaluations mainly reward language-agnostic semantic relevance, treating relevant…
Generative Information Retrieval is an emerging retrieval paradigm that exhibits remarkable performance in monolingual scenarios.However, applying these methods to multilingual retrieval still encounters two primary challenges,…
Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is an important image retrieval paradigm that enables users to retrieve a target image using a multimodal query that consists of a reference image and modification text. Although research on CIR has made…
We are proposing a simple, but efficient basic approach for a number of multilingual and cross-lingual language technology applications that are not limited to the usual two or three languages, but that can be applied with relatively little…
Bilingual word embeddings have been widely used to capture the similarity of lexical semantics in different human languages. However, many applications, such as cross-lingual semantic search and question answering, can be largely benefited…
Cross-lingual document alignment aims to identify pairs of documents in two distinct languages that are of comparable content or translations of each other. In this paper, we exploit the signals embedded in URLs to label web documents at…
Legal professionals worldwide are currently trying to get up-to-pace with the explosive growth in legal document availability through digital means. This drives a need for high efficiency Legal Information Retrieval (IR) and Question…
Information Retriever (IR) aims to find the relevant documents (e.g. snippets, passages, and articles) to a given query at large scale. IR plays an important role in many tasks such as open domain question answering and dialogue systems,…
In this paper, we introduce the approach behind our submission for the MIRACL challenge, a WSDM 2023 Cup competition that centers on ad-hoc retrieval across 18 diverse languages. Our solution contains two neural-based models. The first…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive zero-shot capabilities in various document reranking tasks. Despite their successful implementations, there is still a gap in existing literature on their effectiveness in low-resource…
Composed image retrieval (CIR) is the task of retrieving specific images by using a query that involves both a reference image and a relative caption. Most existing CIR models adopt the late-fusion strategy to combine visual and language…
Speech LLM-based ASR often struggles with named entities and long-tail words due to strong internal language-model priors. Retrieval-augmented biasing can help, but its effectiveness depends on accurate hotword localization in…
Vision-and-language tasks are gaining popularity in the research community, but the focus is still mainly on English. We propose a pipeline that utilizes English-only vision-language models to train a monolingual model for a target…
Science and technology big data contain a lot of cross-media information.There are images and texts in the scientific paper.The s ingle modal search method cannot well meet the needs of scientific researchers.This paper proposes a…
Complex Word Identification (CWI) is a task centered on detecting hard-to-understand words, or groups of words, in texts from different areas of expertise. The purpose of CWI is to highlight problematic structures that non-native speakers…
Cross-lingual annotations of legislative texts enable us to explore major themes covered in multilingual legal data and are a key facilitator of semantic similarity when searching for similar documents. Multilingual probabilistic topic…
In this paper, we explore the usage of Word Embedding semantic resources for Information Retrieval (IR) task. This embedding, produced by a shallow neural network, have been shown to catch semantic similarities between words (Mikolov et…
Information Retrieval (IR) models need to deal with two difficult issues, vocabulary mismatch and term dependencies. Vocabulary mismatch corresponds to the difficulty of retrieving relevant documents that do not contain exact query terms…
