• Abstract: Archive collections are nowadays mostly available through search engines interfaces, which allow a user to retrieve documents by issuing queries. The study of these collections may be, however, impaired by some aspects of search engines, such as the overwhelming number of documents returned or the lack of contextual knowledge provided. New methods that could work independently or in combination with search engines are then required to access these collections. In this position paper, we propose to extend TimeLine Summarization (TLS) methods on archive collections to assist in their studies. We provide an overview of existing TLS methods and we describe a conceptual framework for an Archive TimeLine Summarization (ATLS) system, which aims to generate informative, readable and interpretable timelines.

It includes 229 real documents and 1,102 questions, spanning across five different domains and four major types of questions.

  Representing structured documents as plain text is incongruous with the user's mental model of these documents with rich structure. We propose PDFTriage that enables models to retrieve the context based on either structure or content. Our benchmark dataset consists of 900+ human-generated questions over 80 structured documents.

  IncDSI is a method to add documents in real time without retraining the model on the entire dataset. We formulate the addition of documents as a constrained optimization problem that makes minimal changes to the network parameters. Our approach is competitive with re-training the model on the whole dataset.

• Decomposing Complex Queries for Tip-of-the-tongue Retrieval [72.07449449115167]
  Complex queries describe content elements (e.g., book characters or events), information beyond the document text. This retrieval setting, called tip of the tongue (TOT), is especially challenging for models reliant on lexical and semantic overlap between query and document text. We introduce a simple yet effective framework for handling such complex queries by decomposing the query into individual clues, routing those as sub-queries to specialized retrievers, and ensembling the results.
