IEEE BigData 20232023Hierarchies are common structures used to organize data, such as e-commerce hierarchies associated with product data. With these product hierarchies, we aim to learn hierarchy-aware product text embeddings to improve fine-tuning performance on a variety of downstream e-commerce tasks. Existing methods leverage hierarchies by either aligning the text embeddings to separate hierarchical embeddings or by aligning

2023An effective approach to design automated Question Answering (QA) systems is to efficiently retrieve answers from pre-computed databases containing question/answer pairs. One of the main challenges to this design is the lack of training/testing data. Existing resources are limited in size and topics and either do not consider answers (question-question similarity only) or their quality in the annotation

2023Deep Metric Learning (DML) methods aim at learning an embedding space in which distances are closely related to the inherent semantic similarity of the inputs. Previous studies have shown that popular benchmark datasets often contain numerous wrong labels, and DML methods are susceptible to them. Intending to study the effect of realistic noise, we create an ontology of the classes in a dataset and use

CIKM 2023 Workshop Personalized Generative AI2023Personalization, the ability to tailor a system to individual users, is an essential factor in user experience with natural language process- ing (NLP) systems. With the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs), a key question is how to leverage these models to better personalize user experiences. To personalize a language model’s output, a straightforward approach is to incorporate past user data into

CIKM 20232023Change Point Detection (CPD) models are used to identify abrupt changes in the distribution of a data stream and have a widespread practical use. CPD methods generally compare the distribution of data sequences before and after a given time step to infer if there is a shift in distribution at the said time step. Numerous divergence measures, which measure distance between data distributions of sequence
