Pretrained Transformers for Text Ranking: BERT and Beyond (2020, methodology): “he information retrieval literature. There is a long thread of work, dating back to the 1990s, that leverages passage retrieval techniques for document ranking [Hearst and Plaunt, 1993, Callan, 1994, Wilkinson, 1994, Kaszkiel and Zobel, 1997, Clarke et al., 2000]—that is, aggregating passage-level e”
Is searching full text more effective than searching abstracts? (2009, background): “The problem of retrieving sub-document segments of text has previously been explored in the information retrieval literature [15-24]; the task is often called passage retrieval.”
Passage-level evidence in document retrieval (1994, background): “Others have found that adding the scores of several passages is effective [9; 17], but that was not the case in our experiments.”
Information Retrieval Evaluation (2011, background): “For example groups have studied the effects of hyphenation and effective retrieval of long structured Federal Register (FR) documents [199].”
Relevance ranking for one to three term queries (1997, background): “…& Zobel, 1997; Knaus, Mittendorf, SchaÈ uble, & Sheridan, 1995), most passage retrieval methods divide a document into passages at the time it is added to the database (Allan, 1995; Callan, 1994; Hearst & Plaunt, 1993; Salton, Allan, & Buckley, 1993; Wilkinson, 1994; Wilkinson & Zobel, 1994; ).”
