Exploring the Value of Multi-View Learning for Session-Aware Query Representation (2022.findings-naacl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to learn distributed query representations only consider user’s query reformulations or system’s rankings . previous studies show that user’ s query behavior and knowledge change depending on the system’ 'results' and intertwine and affect each other during the completion of a search task.
Approach: They propose to use multi-view learning methods to align query embeddings with document ranking representations using transformers.
Outcome: The proposed approach can capture search intent semantics and can reflect user's query behavior and knowledge.
