Retrieval and ranking lie at the heart of several applications like search, question-answering, and recommendations. The use of Large language models (LLMs) such as BERT in these applications have shown promising results in recent times. Recent works on text-based retrievers and rankers show promising results by using bi-encoders (BE) architecture with BERT like LLMs for retrieval and a cross-attention

ICDE 20242024How can we effectively generate missing data transformations among tables in a data repository? Multiple versions of the same tables are generated from the iterative process when data scientists and machine learning engineers fine-tune their ML pipelines, making incremental improvements. This process often involves data transformation and augmentation that produces an augmented table based on its base version

ICRA 20242024Robotic manipulation is a key enabler for automation in the fulfillment logistics sector. Such robotic systems require perception and manipulation capabilities to handle a wide variety of objects. Existing systems either operate on a closed set of objects or perform object-agnostic manipulation which lacks the capability for deliberate and reliable manipulation at scale. Object identification (ID) unlocks

Krylov cubic regularized Newton: A subspace second-order method with dimension-free convergence rateAISTATS 20242024Second-order optimization methods, such as cubic regularized Newton methods, are known for their rapid convergence rates; nevertheless, they become impractical in high-dimensional problems due to their substantial memory requirements and computational costs. One promising approach is to execute second-order updates within a lower-dimensional subspace, giving rise to subspace second-order methods. However

Predicting customer preferences for each item is a prerequisite module for most recommender systems in e-commerce. However, the sparsity of behavioral data is often a challenge to learn accurate prediction models. Given millions of items, each customer may only be able to interact with a small subset of them over time. This sparse behavioral data is insufficient to represent item-customer and item-item
