• Abstract: Instead of simply matching a query to pre-existing passages, generative retrieval generates identifier strings of passages as the retrieval target. At a cost, the identifier must be distinctive enough to represent a passage. Current approaches use either a numeric ID or a text piece (such as a title or substrings) as the identifier. However, these identifiers cannot cover a passage's content well. As such, we are motivated to propose a new type of identifier, synthetic identifiers, that are generated based on the content of a passage and could integrate contextualized information that text pieces lack. Furthermore, we simultaneously consider multiview identifiers, including synthetic identifiers, titles, and substrings. These views of identifiers complement each other and facilitate the holistic ranking of passages from multiple perspectives. We conduct a series of experiments on three public datasets, and the results indicate that our proposed approach performs the best in generative retrieval, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness.

• Generative Retrieval as Multi-Vector Dense Retrieval [71.75503049199897]
  Generative retrieval generates identifiers of relevant documents in an end-to-end manner. Prior work has demonstrated that generative retrieval with atomic identifiers is equivalent to single-vector dense retrieval. We show that generative retrieval and multi-vector dense retrieval share the same framework for measuring the relevance to a query of a document.

  We introduce summarization-based document IDs, in which each document's ID is composed of an extractive summary or abstractive keyphrases. We show that using ACID improves top-10 and top-20 recall by 15.6% and 14.4% (relative) respectively. We also observed that extractive IDs outperformed abstractive IDs on Wikipedia articles in NQ but not the snippets in MSMARCO.

  We focus on the scenario where the transcription is known beforehand, in which case the character segmentation becomes an assignment problem. Inspired by the $k$-means clustering algorithm, we view it from the perspective of cluster assignment and present a Transformer-based architecture. In order to assess the quality of our approach, we create character segmentation ground truths for two popular on-line handwriting datasets.
