Anserini Regressions: TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track (Document)

Model: uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) on segmented documents (title/segment encoding)

This page describes regression experiments, integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework, using uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) on the TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track document ranking task. The uniCOIL model is described in the following paper:

Jimmy Lin and Xueguang Ma. A Few Brief Notes on DeepImpact, COIL, and a Conceptual Framework for Information Retrieval Techniques. arXiv:2106.14807.

The experiments on this page are not actually reported in the paper. However, the model is the same, applied to the MS MARCO segmented document corpus (with doc2query-T5 expansions). Retrieval uses MaxP technique, where we select the score of the highest-scoring passage from a document as the score for that document to produce a document ranking.

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 and then run bin/build.sh to rebuild the documentation.

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 dl19-doc-segmented-unicoil

We make available a version of the MS MARCO document corpus that has already been processed with uniCOIL, i.e., we have applied doc2query-T5 expansions, performed model inference on every document, and stored the output sparse vectors. Thus, no neural inference is involved.

From any machine, the following command will download the corpus and perform the complete regression, end to end:

python src/main/python/run_regression.py --download --index --verify --search --regression dl19-doc-segmented-unicoil

The run_regression.py script automates the following steps, but if you want to perform each step manually, simply copy/paste from the commands below and you'll obtain the same regression results.

Corpus Download

Download the corpus and unpack into collections/:

wget https://rgw.cs.uwaterloo.ca/JIMMYLIN-bucket0/data/msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.tar -P collections/
tar xvf collections/msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.tar -C collections/

To confirm, msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.tar is 19 GB and has MD5 checksum 6a00e2c0c375cb1e52c83ae5ac377ebb. With the corpus downloaded, the following command will perform the remaining steps below:

python src/main/python/run_regression.py --index --verify --search --regression dl19-doc-segmented-unicoil \
  --corpus-path collections/msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil

Indexing

Sample indexing command:

target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
  -collection JsonVectorCollection \
  -input /path/to/msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil/ \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -threads 16 -impact -pretokenized -storeDocvectors \
  >& logs/log.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil &

The directory /path/to/msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil/ should point to the corpus downloaded above.

The important indexing options to note here are -impact -pretokenized: the first tells Anserini not to encode BM25 doclengths into Lucene's norms (which is the default) and the second option says not to apply any additional tokenization on the uniCOIL tokens. Upon completion, we should have an index with 20,545,677 documents.

For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.

Retrieval

Topics and qrels are stored in src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/. The regression experiments here evaluate on the 43 topics for which NIST has provided judgments as part of the TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track. The original data can be found here.

After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:

target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil/ \
  -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvInt \
  -output runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.unicoil.topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.txt \
  -impact -pretokenized -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage -selectMaxPassage.delimiter "#" -selectMaxPassage.hits 1000 &

target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil/ \
  -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvInt \
  -output runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.rm3.topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.txt \
  -impact -pretokenized -rm3 -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage -selectMaxPassage.delimiter "#" -selectMaxPassage.hits 1000 &

target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil/ \
  -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvInt \
  -output runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-unicoil.rocchio.topics.dl19-doc.unicoil.0shot.txt \
  -impact -pretokenized -rocchio -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage -selectMaxPassage.delimiter "#" -selectMaxPassage.hits 1000 &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

Effectiveness

With the above commands, you should be able to reproduce the following results:

AP@100 uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) +RM3 +Rocchio
DL19 (Doc) 0.2789 0.3136 0.3199
nDCG@10 uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) +RM3 +Rocchio
DL19 (Doc) 0.6396 0.6781 0.6839
R@100 uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) +RM3 +Rocchio
DL19 (Doc) 0.4099 0.4501 0.4539
R@1000 uniCOIL (with doc2query-T5 expansions) +RM3 +Rocchio
DL19 (Doc) 0.6652 0.7275 0.7305

Note that in the official evaluation for document ranking, all runs were truncated to top-100 hits per query (whereas all top-1000 hits per query were retained for passage ranking). Thus, average precision is computed to depth 100 (i.e., AP@100); nDCG@10 remains unaffected. Remember that we keep qrels of all relevance grades, unlike the case for passage ranking, where relevance grade 1 needs to be discarded when computing certain metrics. Here, we retrieve 1000 hits per query, but measure AP at cutoff 100 (e.g., AP@100). Thus, the experimental results reported here are directly comparable to the results reported in the track overview paper.

Additional Notes

Note that due to MaxP and the need to generate runs to different depths, we can set -hits and -selectMaxPassage.hits differently. The reasonable settings are:

  • -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage.hits 1000 (as above)
  • -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage.hits 100
  • -hits 1000 -selectMaxPassage.hits 100

However, for these topics, we get the same effectiveness results; that is, the tie-breaking affects do not manifest in different scores.
