Frequently-Asked-Question (FAQ) retrieval provides an effective procedure for responding to users natural language based queries. Such platforms are becoming common in enterprise chatbots, product question answering, and preliminary technical support for customers. However, the challenge in such scenarios lies in bridging the lexical and semantic gap between varied query formulations and the corresponding answers, both of which typically have a very short span. This paper proposes TI-S2S, a novel learning framework combining TF-IDF based keyword extraction and Word2Vec embeddings for training a Sequence-to-Sequence (Seq2Seq) architecture. It achieves high precision for FAQ retrieval by better understanding the underlying intent of a user question captured via the representative keywords. We further propose a variant with an additional neural network module for guiding retrieval via relevant candidate identification based on similarity features. Experiments on publicly available dataset depict our approaches to provide around 92% precision-at-rank-5, exhibiting nearly 13% improvement over existing approaches.
This work proposes a novel adaptation of a pretrained sequence-to-sequence model to the task of document ranking. Our approach is fundamentally different from a commonly-adopted classification-based formulation of ranking, based on encoder-only pretr
Encoder-decoder based Sequence to Sequence learning (S2S) has made remarkable progress in recent years. Different network architectures have been used in the encoder/decoder. Among them, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Self Attention Networks
We propose a framework for sequence-to-sequence contrastive learning (SeqCLR) of visual representations, which we apply to text recognition. To account for the sequence-to-sequence structure, each feature map is divided into different instances over
We propose a design pattern for tackling text ranking problems, dubbed Expando-Mono-Duo, that has been empirically validated for a number of ad hoc retrieval tasks in different domains. At the core, our design relies on pretrained sequence-to-sequenc
Maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) is widely used in sequence to sequence tasks for model training. It uniformly treats the generation/prediction of each target token as multi-class classification, and yields non-smooth prediction probabilities: in
