Recent methods for training them cost a lot of compute: ANCE keeps refreshing a negative-sampling index, and RocketQA needs very large batches. Hofstätter et al. ask whether a strong dense retriever can be trained on modest hardware… 2. **[A Disaggregated Dataset on English Offensiveness Containing Spans](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pachinger-2025-disaggregated-dataset-english-offensiveness-containing/)** *(2025)* Moderation systems usually learn from one majority-vote label per document. That hides how differently people judge harm, and it does not show which words caused a judgement. The authors address both problems by re-annotating 1,983 English Wikipedia comments from the Jigsaw Toxic Comment Classification Challenge.… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Efficiently Teaching an Effective Dense Retriever with Balanced Topic Aware Sampling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hofstatter-2021-efficiently-teaching-effective-dense-retriever/) [International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/international-acm-sigir-conference-on-research-and-development-in-information/)**Sebastian Hofstatter, Sheng-Chieh Lin, Jheng-Hong Yang, et al.*2021 · 425 citations* 2. **[An Efficient Algorithm for Calculating the Exact Hausdorff Distance ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/tpami.2015.2408351) IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · no summary yet**Abdel Aziz Taha, Allan Hanbury*2015 · 412 citations* 3. **[Detecting Risks in the Banking System by Sentiment Analysis ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D15-1071/) Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Clemens Nopp, Allan Hanbury*2015 · 65 citations* 4. **[AustroTox: A Dataset for Target-Based Austrian German Offensive Language Detection ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-acl.713/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2024 · no summary yet**Pia Pachinger et al.*2024 · 7 citations* 5. **[A Disaggregated Dataset on English Offensiveness Containing Spans](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pachinger-2025-disaggregated-dataset-english-offensiveness-containing/) [edition of NLPerspectives](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/nlperspectives/)**Pia Pachinger, Janis Goldzycher, Anna M.
