Retrieval Datasets

Retrieval datasets are collections of data used to train and evaluate information retrieval (IR) systems, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of finding relevant information in response to user queries. Current research focuses on developing larger, more diverse datasets encompassing multiple languages and modalities (text, images, etc.), as well as refining model architectures like transformer-based rerankers and exploring techniques such as instruction tuning and data augmentation to enhance retrieval performance. These advancements are crucial for improving various applications, from question answering and knowledge base access to personalized learning and scientific literature search.
