Models: various bag-of-words approaches on original passages
This page describes baseline experiments, integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework, on the TREC 2021 Deep Learning Track passage ranking task using the MS MARCO V2 passage collection.
Note that the NIST relevance judgments provide far more relevant passages per topic, unlike the "sparse" judgments provided by Microsoft (these are sometimes called "dense" judgments to emphasize this contrast). For additional instructions on working with MS MARCO V2 passage collection, refer to this page.
The exact configurations for these regressions are stored in this YAML file. Note that this page is automatically generated from this template as part of Anserini's regression pipeline, so do not modify this page directly; modify the template instead.
From one of our Waterloo servers (e.g., orca
), the following command will perform the complete regression, end to end:
python src/main/python/run_regression.py --index --verify --search --regression dl21-passage
Typical indexing command:
target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
-collection MsMarcoV2PassageCollection \
-input /path/to/msmarco-v2-passage \
-index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-v2-passage/ \
-generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
-threads 18 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw \
>& logs/log.msmarco-v2-passage &
The value of -input
should be a directory containing the compressed jsonl
files that comprise the corpus.
See this page for additional details.
For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.
Topics and qrels are stored in src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/
.
The regression experiments here evaluate on the 53 topics for which NIST has provided judgments as part of the TREC 2021 Deep Learning Track.
The original data can be found here.
After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:
