Conference

We are pleased to inform that we have a new publication in the 43rd European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2021). The publication presents a complete conversational search pipeline that includes various state-of-the-art approaches to rewrite queries, re-rank results, and summarize retrieved answers.

FARFETCH is sponsoring VISUM summer school. iFetch team is happy to take part in this initiate by proposing a new project under the umbrella of information retrieval (with application on conversational agents) that VISUM applicants will need to address throughout the summer school.

We are happy to announce that our recent publication is now available at ACM digital library. Title: Adaptive temporal triplet-loss for cross-modal embedding learning. Abstract: “There are many domains where the temporal dimension is critical to unveil how different modalities, such as images and texts, are correlated.

We are organizing a workshop at ACM Multimedia 2020 - Multimodal Conversational AI (MuCAI). Conversational agents are now becoming a commodity as a number of companies push for this technology. The wide use of these conversational agents exposes the many challenges in achieving more natural, human-like, and engaging conversational agents.
