Anserini: Baselines for MS MARCO Document Leaderboard

The page provides instructions for reproducing Anserini baseline runs for the MS MARCO Document Leaderboard. Prebuilt indexes can be found here. For convenience, we use Pyserini's feature to automatically download prebuilt indexes to fetch the right indexes, which are downloaded to ~/.cache/pyserini/indexes/.

Note that we are only able to evaluate on the dev queries. Scores on the test topics are only available via submission to the official leaderboard.

Note that prior to December 2021, runs generated with SearchCollection in the TREC format and then converted into the MS MARCO format give slightly different results from runs generated by SearchMsmarco directly in the MS MARCO format, due to tie-breaking effects. This was fixed with #1458, which also introduced (intra-configuration) multi-threading. As a result, SearchMsmarco has been deprecated and replaced by SearchCollection; both have been verified to generate identical output.

BM25 Baselines

We have two BM25 baselines, a "per-document" configuration (indexing each document individually, as you'd expect) and a "per-passage" configuration (where we break up each document into passages and index each passage separately, see here).

To fetch the indexes:

python -c "from pyserini.search import SimpleSearcher; SimpleSearcher.from_prebuilt_index('msmarco-doc')"
python -c "from pyserini.search import SimpleSearcher; SimpleSearcher.from_prebuilt_index('msmarco-doc-per-passage')"

Per-Document

Run with per-document configuration, BM25 default parameters:

mkdir runs/bm25base/

sh target/appassembler/bin/SearchMsmarco -hits 100 -k1 0.9 -b 0.4 -threads 9 \
 -index ~/.cache/pyserini/indexes/index-msmarco-doc-20201117-f87c94.ac747860e7a37aed37cc30ed3990f273 \
