Got two papers accepted at COLING
What a great finish to have my last two PhD papers accepted at the International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING):
1️⃣ “Know When to Fuse: Investigating Non-English Hybrid Retrieval in the Legal Domain”, where I study the efficacy of hybrid search across a variety of prominent retrieval models within the unexplored field of law in the French language, assessing both zero-shot and in-domain scenarios.
2️⃣ “ColBERT-XM: A Modular Multi-Vector Representation Model for Zero-Shot Multilingual Information Retrieval”, where I present a modular dense retrieval model that learns from a single high-resource language (like English) and effectively transfers zero-shot to other languages, thereby eliminating the need for language-specific labeled retrieval data.
