Title: Personalization and Conversation (and GPT-4)
Abstract: A fundamental capability in search is to retrieve the best candidates from millions or billions of candidates. That capability can be used in a simple query-driven search interface. On top of that we can add capabilities like personalization, conversational refinement and/or summarization via retrieval-augmented generation. This talk covers some work on the fundamentals (MS MARCO), personalization and conversation ("A theoretical model of conversational search" by Radlinski and Craswell). For each published work, I'll present some toy examples, to see what GPT-4 (dv3) can do. The toy examples help us speculate about the upcoming impact of LLMs on retrieval fundamentals, personalization and conversation.
