> **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.

> a method for constructing **a virtual KB (VKB) trained entirely from text**

Open Predicate Query Language (OPQL): constructing a virtual knowledge base (VKB) that supports KB reasoning & open-domain QA, tackling the incompleteness of knowledge bases by constructing a virtual KB only from text

> OPQL constructs
a VKB by **encoding and indexing a set of
relation mentions** in a way that naturally enables
reasoning and can be trained without any structured
supervision.

> can be used
as an **external memory integrated into a language
model**

cf. this earlier paper [[2002.10640] Differentiable Reasoning over a Virtual Knowledge Base](doc:2020/07/2002_10640_differentiable_rea). But does not require an initial structured KB for distant
supervision.

> The key idea in constructing the OPQL VKB is to use a
dual-encoder pre-training process, similar to

[2012.04584] Distilling Knowledge from Reader to Retriever for Question Answering

Tags:

> a method to train an information retrieval module for downstream tasks, **without using pairs of queries and documents as annotations**.

Uses two models (standard pipeline for open-domain QA):

- the first one retrieves documents from a large source of knowledge (the retriever)
- the second one processes the support documents to solve the task (the reader).

> First the retriever selects support passages in a large knowledge
source. Then these passages are processed by the reader, along with the question, to generate an
answer

Inspired by knowledge distillation: the reader model is the teacher and the retriever is the student.

> More precisely, we use a sequence-to-sequence model as the reader, and use
the attention activations over the input documents as synthetic labels to train the retriever. 
> (**train the retriever by learning to approximate the attention score of the reader**)
