Learning representations for information retrieval
Alessandro Sordoni
Le 5 mai 2016 à 13 h 30
Salle 3195, Pavillon André-Aisenstadt
Information retrieval deals with questions such as: Is this document
relevant to this query? How similar are two queries or two documents? How
can query and document similarity be used to enhance relevance estimation?
In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to create computational
representations of documents and queries. Our goal is to provide new ways
of estimating such representations and their relevance relationship. We
present a series of research leading to the following observation: future
improvements in information retrieval effectiveness has to rely on
representation learning techniques instead of a manual definition of the
representation space.
