Models: various bag-of-words approaches on complete documents
This page describes experiments, integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework, on the "RAGgy dev topics" on the MS MARCO V2.1 document corpus. These "RAGgy topics" were manually curated from the TREC 2021, 2022, and 2023 Deep Learning Tracks to be "RAG-worthy" according to the track organizers.
Here, we cover bag-of-words baselines where each document in the MS MARCO V2.1 document corpus is treated as a unit of indexing.
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 rag24-doc-raggy-dev
Typical indexing command:
bin/run.sh io.anserini.index.IndexCollection \
-collection MsMarcoV2DocCollection \
-input /path/to/msmarco-v2.1-doc \
-generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
-index indexes/lucene-inverted.msmarco-v2.1-doc/ \
-threads 24 -storeRaw \
>& logs/log.msmarco-v2.1-doc &
The setting of -input should be a directory containing the compressed jsonl files that comprise the corpus.
For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.
Topics and qrels are stored here, which is linked to the Anserini repo as a submodule. These "RAG-worthy" topics were manually curated from the TREC 2021, 2022, and 2023 Deep Learning Tracks and projected over to the V2.1 version of the corpus.
After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:
bin/run.sh io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
-index indexes/lucene-inverted.msmarco-v2.1-doc/ \
-topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-topicReader TsvInt \
-output runs/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc.bm25-default.topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-hits 1000 -bm25 &
bin/run.sh io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
-index indexes/lucene-inverted.msmarco-v2.1-doc/ \
-topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-topicReader TsvInt \
-output runs/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc.bm25-default+rm3.topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-hits 1000 -bm25 -rm3 -collection MsMarcoV2DocCollection &
bin/run.sh io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
-index indexes/lucene-inverted.msmarco-v2.1-doc/ \
-topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-topicReader TsvInt \
-output runs/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc.bm25-default+rocchio.topics.rag24.raggy-dev.txt \
-hits 1000 -bm25 -rocchio -collection MsMarcoV2DocCollection &
