Anserini Regressions: BEIR (v1.0.0) — Robust04

This page documents BM25 regression experiments for BEIR (v1.0.0) — Robust04. These experiments index the corpus in a "flat" manner, by concatenating the "title" and "text" into the "contents" field.

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-robust04-flat

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
  -collection BeirFlatCollection \
  -input /path/to/beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat/ \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -threads 1 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw \
  >& logs/log.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat &

For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.

Retrieval

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-robust04-flat/ \
  -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvString \
  -output runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt \
  -bm25 -removeQuery -hits 1000 &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m ndcg_cut.10 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.100 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.1000 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-robust04-flat.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-robust04.test.txt
