Models: various bag-of-words approaches on original passages
This page describes regression experiments for passage ranking on the MS MARCO (V2) passage corpus using the dev queries, which is integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework. Here, we cover bag-of-words baselines. For more complete instructions on how to run end-to-end experiments, 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 msmarco-v2-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 directory /path/to/msmarco-v2-passage/ 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/.
These regression experiments use the dev queries and the dev2 queries.
After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:
target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
-index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-v2-passage/ \
-topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.msmarco-v2-passage.dev.txt \
-topicreader TsvInt \
-output runs/run.msmarco-v2-passage.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-v2-passage.dev.txt \
-bm25 &
