Anserini Regressions: BEIR (v1.0.0) — SCIDOCS

This page documents BM25 regression experiments for BEIR (v1.0.0) — SCIDOCS. These experiments index the "title" and "text" fields in corpus separately. At retrieval time, a query is issued across both fields (equally weighted).

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-scidocs-multifield

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
  -collection BeirMultifieldCollection \
  -input /path/to/beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield/ \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -threads 1 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw -fields title \
  >& logs/log.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield &

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.

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-scidocs-multifield/ \
  -topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.tsv.gz \
  -topicreader TsvString \
  -output runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt \
  -bm25 -removeQuery -hits 1000 -fields contents=1.0 title=1.0 &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m ndcg_cut.10 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.100 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt
tools/eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -c -m recall.1000 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt runs/run.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs-multifield.bm25.topics.beir-v1.0.0-scidocs.test.txt
