In this third episode of the Neural Information Retrieval Talks podcast, Andrew Yates and Sergi Castella discuss the paper "Learning to Retrieve Passages without Supervision" by Ori Ram et al.
Despite the massive advances in Neural Information Retrieval in the past few years, statistical models still overperform neural models when no annotations are available at all. This paper proposes a new self-supervised pertaining task for Dense Information Retrieval that manages to beat BM25 on some benchmarks without using any label.
