If you are attending #SIGIR2025 and #ICTIR2025, come check out our research group's presentations! 😊
We have 14 presentations in total, with at least one every day. 😄
If you want to know more about our group, e.g., the meaning of the Informagus name 😁, do reach out to us.
See you in Padua! 😎 ☀️ 🇮🇹
Our paper on self-distillation for training bi-encoders got accepted at #ICTIR2025! By exploiting pretrained encoder capabilities, our approach eliminates expensive teacher models and batch sampling while maintaining the same effectiveness.
