🚨 New Pre-Print!🚨 with Sean MacAvaney & Iadh Ounis. Stop using "translate-train" for all your multilingual needs. We explore zero-shot transfer for low-resource languages... 🧵

It was a really pleasant surprise to learn that our paper “Efficient Constant-Space Multi-Vector Retrieval” aka ConstBERT, co-authored with Sean MacAvaney and Nicola Tonellotto received the Best Short Paper Honourable Mention at ECIR 2025! #ECIR2025 #IR #Pinecone

As Harry Scells et al say: ♻️ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! It's never been easier to share indexes (Terrier, Anserini, Pisa, Dense, etc.) using HuggingFace, Zenodo, etc. 🤓

🚨 New Pre-Print! You've just added your 600th model to your negative mining pool and filtered all false negatives. Does any of this even matter when we can apply distillation? In this work with Debasis Ganguly and Sean MacAvaney, we explore data selection in modern ranking. 🧵 Below
