BM25 Benchmarks

Benchmarking

To run benchmark on bm25 implementations, simply run:

# For bm25_pt
python -m benchmark.on_bm25_pt -d "<dataset>"

# For rank-bm25
python -m benchmark.on_rank_bm25 -d "<dataset>"

# for Pyserini
python -m benchmark.on_pyserini -d "<dataset>"

# For elastic, After starting the server, run:
python -m benchmark.on_elastic -d "<dataset>"

# for PISA
python -m benchmark.on_pisa -d "<dataset>"

where <dataset> is the name of the dataset to be used.

Available datasets

The available datasets are public BEIR datasets: trec-covid, nfcorpus, fiqa, arguana, webis-touche2020, quora, scidocs, scifact, cqadupstack, nq, msmarco, hotpotqa, dbpedia-entity, fever, climate-fever,

Sampling during benchmarking

For rank-bm25, due to the long runtime, we can sample queries

python -m benchmark.on_rank_bm25 -d "<dataset>" --samples <num_samples>

Rank-bm25 variants

For rank-bm25, we can also specify the method with --method to be used:

  • rank (default)
  • bm25l
  • bm25+

Results will be saved in results/ directory.

Elasticsearch server

If you want to use elastic search, you need to start the server first.

First, download the elastic search from here. You will get a file, e.g. elasticsearch-8.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz. Extract the file and ensure it is in the same directory as the bm25-benchmarks directory.

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzf elasticsearch-8.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
# remove the tar file
rm elasticsearch-8.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Then, start the server with the following command:

./elasticsearch-8.14.0/bin/elasticsearch -E xpack.security.enabled=false -E thread_pool.search.size=1 -E thread_pool.write.size=1

Results

The results are benchmarked using Kaggle notebooks to ensure reproducibility. Each one is run on single-core, Intel Xeon CPU @ 2.20GHz, using 30GB RAM.

The shorthands used are:

  • BM25PT for bm25_pt
  • PSRN for pyserini
  • R-BM25 for rank-bm25
  • ES for elasticsearch
  • PISA for the Pisa Engine (via the pyterrier_pisa Python bindings)
  • OOM for out-of-memory error
  • DNT for did not terminate (i.e. went over 12 hours)

Notes:

  • For Rank-BM25, larger datasets are ran with 1000 samples rather than the full dataset to ensure it finishes within 12h (limit for Kaggle notebooks).
  • For ES and BM25S, we can set a number of threads to use. However, you might not see an improvement, in fact you might even see a decrease in throughput in the case of BM25S due to how multi-threading is implemented. Click below to see the results.
