A Zero-Shot Monolingual Dual Stage Information Retrieval System for Spanish Biomedical Systematic Literature Reviews (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have shown that most SRs are skewed towards English databases, excluding databases in Languages other than English (LoE). |
| Approach: | They propose a zero-shot dual information retrieval baseline system that integrates traditional retrieval methods with pre-trained language models and cross-attention re-rankers for enhanced accuracy in Spanish biomedical literature retrieval. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system improves on three real-life case studies in Spanish biomedical literature retrieval using the LILACS database, which is known for its coverage of Latin American and Caribbean biomedically literature. |
