• Abstract summary: We propose Momentum adversarial Domain Invariant Representation learning (MoDIR) MoDIR trains a domain classifier distinguishing source versus target, and then adversarially updates the DR encoder to learn domain invariant representations. Our experiments show that MoDIR robustly outperforms its baselines on 10+ ranking datasets from the BEIR benchmark in the zero-shot setup.

• Abstract: Dense retrieval (DR) methods conduct text retrieval by first encoding texts in the embedding space and then matching them by nearest neighbor search. This requires strong locality properties from the representation space, i.e, the close allocations of each small group of relevant texts, which are hard to generalize to domains without sufficient training data. In this paper, we aim to improve the generalization ability of DR models from source training domains with rich supervision signals to target domains without any relevant labels, in the zero-shot setting. To achieve that, we propose Momentum adversarial Domain Invariant Representation learning (MoDIR), which introduces a momentum method in the DR training process to train a domain classifier distinguishing source versus target, and then adversarially updates the DR encoder to learn domain invariant representations. Our experiments show that MoDIR robustly outperforms its baselines on 10+ ranking datasets from the BEIR benchmark in the zero-shot setup, with more than 10% relative gains on datasets with enough sensitivity for DR models' evaluation. Source code of this paper will be released.

  Divide and Contrast (DaC) aims to connect the good ends of both worlds while bypassing their limitations. DaC divides the target data into source-like and target-specific samples, where either group of samples is treated with tailored goals. We further align the source-like domain with the target-specific samples using a memory bank-based Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss to reduce the distribution mismatch.

  We propose a novel Dense Retrieval (DR) framework named Disentangled Dense Retrieval ( DDR) to support effective domain adaptation for DR models. By making the REM and DAMs disentangled, DDR enables a flexible training paradigm in which REM is trained with supervision once and DAMs are trained with unsupervised data. DDR significantly improves ranking performance compared to strong DR baselines and substantially outperforms traditional retrieval methods in most scenarios.
