Happy to share our survey about explainable IR, comments are appreciated. Avishek Anand Max Idahl Jonas Wallat Yumeng Wang Joshua Ghost

Very happy that this got through with Jurek Leonhardt . In this work we propose how to dynamically select extractive document text as explanations for document ranking. Turns out that ranking just on these explanations does not negotiate ranking performance. #tois

🚀 Our #TOIS journal paper showcases the power of GPU-free text ranking using lightweight encoders and forward indexes. This is Jurek Leonhardt's for his final thesis chapter. Kudos to co-authors Henrik Müller, Koustav Rudra, abhijitanand, Megha Khosla dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

2nd #TOIS paper is on Data Augmentation for Sample Efficient & Robust Document Ranking. We show performance boosts across various dataset sizes, w/ impressive out-of-domain transferability. Kudos to lead abhijitanand and Jurek Leonhardt, Koustav Rudra, Jaspreet Singh 🚀 paper coming soon.
