[2112.07577] GPL: Generative Pseudo Labeling for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation of Dense Retrieval

Tags:

An unsupervised domain adaptation technique for dense retrieval models

1. synthetic queries
are generated for each passage from the target corpus (using an existing pre-trained [T5](tag:text_to_text_transfer_transformer)
encoder-decoder)
2. the generated queries are used for mining negative
passages (retrieving the most similar
paragraphs using an existing dense retrieval
model == hard negatives!)
3. the query-passage pairs are labeled by a cross-encoder and used to train the domain-adapted
dense retriever (using method described in [Hofstätter et al.,
2020](doc:2021/12/2010_02666_improving_efficien))

Claims to improve "Doc2Query" [Document Expansion by Query Prediction](doc:2022/01/1904_08375_document_expansion): ([src](https://twitter.com/KexinWang2049/status/1471435779415150598))

> - GPL: Uses doc2query to construct synthetic data and does knowledge distillation (i.e. training) on that data.
> - Doc2query: Generates queries to extend the documents and use BM25 on top of them w/o training.
