Semantic Entity Retrieval Toolkit
Unsupervised learning of low-dimensional, semantic representations of words
and entities has recently gained attention. In this paper we describe the
Semantic Entity Retrieval Toolkit (SERT) that provides implementations of our
previously published entity representation models. The toolkit provides a
unified interface to different representation learning algorithms, fine-grained
parsing configuration and can be used transparently with GPUs. In addition,
users can easily modify existing models or implement their own models in the
framework. After model training, SERT can be used to rank entities according to
a textual query and extract the learned entity/word representation for use in
downstream algorithms, such as clustering or recommendation.Comment: SIGIR 2017 Workshop on Neural Information Retrieval (Neu-IR'17). 201
Share your Model instead of your Data: Privacy Preserving Mimic Learning for Ranking
Deep neural networks have become a primary tool for solving problems in many
fields. They are also used for addressing information retrieval problems and
show strong performance in several tasks. Training these models requires large,
representative datasets and for most IR tasks, such data contains sensitive
information from users. Privacy and confidentiality concerns prevent many data
owners from sharing the data, thus today the research community can only
benefit from research on large-scale datasets in a limited manner. In this
paper, we discuss privacy preserving mimic learning, i.e., using predictions
from a privacy preserving trained model instead of labels from the original
sensitive training data as a supervision signal. We present the results of
preliminary experiments in which we apply the idea of mimic learning and
privacy preserving mimic learning for the task of document re-ranking as one of
the core IR tasks. This research is a step toward laying the ground for
enabling researchers from data-rich environments to share knowledge learned
from actual users' data, which should facilitate research collaborations.Comment: SIGIR 2017 Workshop on Neural Information Retrieval
