Anserini Regressions: MS MARCO Document Ranking

Models: various bag-of-words approaches on segmented documents with WordPiece tokenization

This page documents regression experiments on the MS MARCO document ranking task, which is integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework. Here we are using WordPiece tokenization (i.e., from BERT) on passages from the documents. At retrieval time, we select the score of the highest-scoring passage from a document as the score for that document to produce a document ranking; this is known as the MaxP technique. In general, effectiveness is lower than with "standard" Lucene tokenization for two reasons: (1) we're losing stemming, and (2) some terms are chopped into less meaningful subwords.

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 msmarco-doc-segmented-wp

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
  -collection JsonCollection \
  -input /path/to/msmarco-doc-segmented-wp \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp/ \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -threads 16 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw -pretokenized \
  >& logs/log.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp &

The directory /path/to/msmarco-doc-segmented/ should be a directory containing the segmented corpus in Anserini's jsonl format. See this page for how to prepare the corpus.

For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.

Retrieval

Topics and qrels are stored here, which is linked to the Anserini repo as a submodule. The regression experiments here evaluate on the 5193 dev set questions.

After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:

target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp/ \
  -topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvInt \
  -output runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.txt \
  -bm25 -pretokenized -hits 10000 -selectMaxPassage -selectMaxPassage.delimiter "#" -selectMaxPassage.hits 1000 &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m map tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.msmarco-doc.dev.txt runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -M 100 -m recip_rank tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.msmarco-doc.dev.txt runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.100 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.msmarco-doc.dev.txt runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.1000 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.msmarco-doc.dev.txt runs/run.msmarco-doc-segmented-wp.bm25-default.topics.msmarco-doc.dev.wp.txt

Effectiveness

With the above commands, you should be able to reproduce the following results:

AP@1000 BM25 (default)
MS MARCO Doc: Dev 0.2674
RR@100 BM25 (default)
MS MARCO Doc: Dev 0.2668
R@100 BM25 (default)
MS MARCO Doc: Dev 0.7705
R@1000 BM25 (default)
MS MARCO Doc: Dev 0.9118
