This page documents BM25 regression experiments for BEIR (v1.0.0) — CQADupStack-unix.
These experiments index the corpus in a "flat" manner, by concatenating the "title" and "text" into the "contents" field.
All the documents and queries are pre-tokenized with bert-base-uncased
tokenizer.
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 beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp
Typical indexing command:
target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
-collection BeirFlatCollection \
-input /path/to/beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp \
-index indexes/lucene-index.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp/ \
-generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
-threads 1 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw -pretokenized \
>& logs/log.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp &
For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.
After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:
target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
-index indexes/lucene-index.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp/ \
-topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix.test.wp.tsv.gz \
-topicreader TsvString \
-output runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix-flat-wp.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-cqadupstack-unix.test.wp.txt \
-bm25 -removeQuery -pretokenized &
Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval
:
