[2206.10658] Questions Are All You Need to Train a Dense Passage Retriever

Tags:

> **approach for training dense retrieval models that does not require any labeled training data**. Dense retrieval is a central challenge for open-domain tasks, such as Open QA, where state-of-the-art methods typically require large supervised datasets with custom hard-negative mining and denoising of positive examples.
>
> ART, in contrast, only requires access to unpaired inputs and outputs (e.g. questions and potential answer documents).
>
> It uses a new document-retrieval autoencoding scheme, where
> 1. an input question is used to retrieve a set of evidence documents, and
> 2. the documents are then used to compute the probability of reconstructing the original question.
>
> Training for retrieval based on question reconstruction enables effective unsupervised learning of both document and question encoders, which can be later incorporated into complete Open QA systems without any further finetuning.

> Given an
input question, ART first retrieves a small set
of possible evidences documents. It then recon
structs
the original question by attending to these
documents
>
> The
key idea in ART is to consider the retrieved documents
as a noisy representation of the original
question and question reconstruction probability
as a way of denoising that provides soft-labels for
how likely each document is to have been the correct
result
