Anserini: Regressions for AQUAINT (Robust05)

This page describes regressions for the TREC 2005 Robust Track, which uses the AQUAINT collection. 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.

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

nohup sh target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection -collection TrecCollection -input /path/to/robust05 \
 -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs -generator JsoupGenerator -threads 16 \
 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRawDocs >& log.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs &

The directory /path/to/aquaint/ should be the root directory of the AQUAINT collection; under subdirectory disk1/ there should be NYT/ and under subdirectory disk2/ there should be APW/ and XIE/.

For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.

Retrieval

Topics and qrels are stored in src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/, downloaded from NIST:

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

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -bm25 -output run.robust05.bm25.topics.robust05.txt &

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -bm25 -rm3 -output run.robust05.bm25+rm3.topics.robust05.txt &

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -bm25 -axiom -axiom.deterministic -rerankCutoff 20 -output run.robust05.bm25+ax.topics.robust05.txt &

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -qld -output run.robust05.ql.topics.robust05.txt &

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -qld -rm3 -output run.robust05.ql+rm3.topics.robust05.txt &

nohup target/appassembler/bin/SearchCollection -index lucene-index.robust05.pos+docvectors+rawdocs \
 -topicreader Trec -topics src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/topics.robust05.txt \
 -qld -axiom -axiom.deterministic -rerankCutoff 20 -output run.robust05.ql+ax.topics.robust05.txt &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.bm25.topics.robust05.txt

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.bm25+rm3.topics.robust05.txt

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.bm25+ax.topics.robust05.txt

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.ql.topics.robust05.txt

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.ql+rm3.topics.robust05.txt

eval/trec_eval.9.0.4/trec_eval -m map -m P.30 src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/qrels.robust05.txt run.robust05.ql+ax.topics.robust05.txt
