• Abstract: The Document-based Visual Question Answering competition addresses the automatic detection of parent-child relationships between elements in multi-page documents. The goal is to identify the document elements that answer a specific question posed in natural language. This paper describes the PoliTo's approach to addressing this task, in particular, our best solution explores a text-only approach, leveraging an ad hoc sampling strategy. Specifically, our approach leverages the Masked Language Modeling technique to fine-tune a BERT model, focusing on sentences containing sensitive keywords that also occur in the questions, such as references to tables or images. Thanks to the effectiveness of this approach, we are able to achieve high performance compared to baselines, demonstrating how our solution contributes positively to this task.

  We develop an innovative framework for E-commerce search, called generative retrieval with preference optimization. We employ multi-span identifiers to represent raw item titles and transform the task of generating titles from queries into the task of generating multi-span identifiers from queries. Our experiments show that this framework achieves competitive performance on a real-world dataset, and online A/B tests demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness in improving conversion gains.

  In this paper, we address the issue of dialogue-form context query within the interactive text-to-image retrieval task. By reformulating the dialogue-form context, we eliminate the necessity of fine-tuning a retrieval model on existing visual dialogue data. We construct the LLM questioner to generate non-redundant questions about the attributes of the target image.

  We introduce MemWalker, a method that processes the long context into a tree of summary nodes. Upon receiving a query, the model navigates this tree in search of relevant information, and responds once it gathers sufficient information. We show that, beyond effective reading, MemWalker enhances explainability by highlighting the reasoning steps as it interactively reads the text; pinpointing the relevant text segments related to the query.

  We propose to automatically convert background knowledge documents into document semantic graphs. Our document semantic graphs preserve sentence-level information through the use of sentence nodes and provide concept connections between sentences. Our experiments show that our semantic graph-based knowledge selection improves over sentence selection baselines for both the knowledge selection task and the end-to-end response generation task on HollE.

  This work addresses the problem of Question Answering (QA) on handwritten document collections. Unlike typical QA and Visual Question Answering (VQA) formulations where the answer is a short text, we aim to locate a document snippet where the answer lies. We argue that the recognition-free approach is suitable for handwritten documents and historical collections where robust text recognition is often difficult.

  We describe two groups of models for sentence selection: QA-based approaches, which run a full-fledged QA system to identify answer candidates, and retrieval-based models, which find parts of each passage specifically related to each question. We show that very lightweight QA models can do well at this task, but retrieval-based models are faster still.
