From scattered sources to comprehensive technology landscape : A recommendation-based retrieval approach

Karl Aberer, Chi Thang Duong

Mapping the technology landscape is crucial for market actors to take informed investment decisions. However, given the large amount of data on the Web and its subsequent information overload, manually retrieving information is a seemingly ineffective and ...

Revisiting Offline Compression: Going Beyond Factorization-based Methods for Transformer Language Models

Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Mohammadreza Banaei

Recent transformer language models achieve outstanding results in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, their enormous size often makes them impractical on memory-constrained devices, requiring practitioners to compress them to smaller net ...

Stop Pre-Training: Adapt Visual-Language Models to Unseen Languages

Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Negar Foroutan Eghlidi

Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP) has advanced the performance of many visionlanguage tasks, such as image-text retrieval, visual entailment, and visual reasoning. The pre-training mostly utilizes lexical databases and image queries in English. Previous w ...

Efficient and Effective Multi-Modal Queries Through Heterogeneous Network Embedding

Karl Aberer, Thanh Trung Huynh, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Chi Thang Duong

The heterogeneity of today's Web sources requires information retrieval (IR) systems to handle multi-modal queries. Such queries define a user's information needs by different data modalities, such as keywords, hashtags, user profiles, and other media. Rec ...

Scalable Robust Graph Embedding with Spark

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Chi Thang Duong, Trung-Dung Hoang

Graph embedding aims at learning a vector-based representation of vertices that incorporates the structure of the graph. This representation then enables inference of graph properties. Existing graph embedding techniques, however, do not scale well to larg ...
