Anserini Regressions: TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track (Passage)

Model: Cohere embed-english-v3.0 with flat indexes (using cached queries)

This page describes regression experiments, integrated into Anserini's regression testing framework, using the Cohere embed-english-v3.0 model on the TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track passage ranking task.

In these experiments, we are using cached queries (i.e., cached results of query encoding).

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 and then run bin/build.sh to rebuild the documentation.

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 dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.flat.cached

We make available a version of the MS MARCO Passage Corpus that has already been encoded with Cohere embed-english-v3.0.

From any machine, the following command will download the corpus and perform the complete regression, end to end:

python src/main/python/run_regression.py --download --index --verify --search --regression dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.flat.cached

The run_regression.py script automates the following steps, but if you want to perform each step manually, simply copy/paste from the commands below and you'll obtain the same regression results.

Corpus Download

Download the corpus and unpack into collections/:

wget https://rgw.cs.uwaterloo.ca/pyserini/data/msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.tar -P collections/
tar xvf collections/msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.tar -C collections/

To confirm, msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.tar is 38 GB and has MD5 checksum 06a6e38a0522850c6aa504db7b2617f5. With the corpus downloaded, the following command will perform the remaining steps below:

python src/main/python/run_regression.py --index --verify --search --regression dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.flat.cached \
  --corpus-path collections/msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0

Indexing

Sample indexing command, building flat indexes:

bin/run.sh io.anserini.index.IndexFlatDenseVectors \
  -threads 16 \
  -collection JsonDenseVectorCollection \
  -input /path/to/msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0 \
  -generator DenseVectorDocumentGenerator \
  -index indexes/lucene-flat.msmarco-v1-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0/ \
  >& logs/log.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0 &

The path /path/to/msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0/ should point to the corpus downloaded above. Upon completion, we should have an index with 8,841,823 documents.

Retrieval

Topics and qrels are stored here, which is linked to the Anserini repo as a submodule. The regression experiments here evaluate on the 43 topics for which NIST has provided judgments as part of the TREC 2019 Deep Learning Track. The original data can be found here.

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

bin/run.sh io.anserini.search.SearchFlatDenseVectors \
  -index indexes/lucene-flat.msmarco-v1-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0/ \
  -topics tools/topics-and-qrels/topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.gz \
  -topicReader JsonIntVector \
  -output runs/run.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.cohere-embed-english-v3.0-flat-cached.topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.txt \
  -hits 1000 -threads 16 &

Evaluation can be performed using trec_eval:

bin/trec_eval -m map -c -l 2 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.dl19-passage.txt runs/run.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.cohere-embed-english-v3.0-flat-cached.topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.txt
bin/trec_eval -m ndcg_cut.10 -c tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.dl19-passage.txt runs/run.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.cohere-embed-english-v3.0-flat-cached.topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.txt
bin/trec_eval -m recall.100 -c -l 2 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.dl19-passage.txt runs/run.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.cohere-embed-english-v3.0-flat-cached.topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.txt
bin/trec_eval -m recall.1000 -c -l 2 tools/topics-and-qrels/qrels.dl19-passage.txt runs/run.msmarco-passage-cohere-embed-english-v3.0.cohere-embed-english-v3.0-flat-cached.topics.dl19-passage.cohere-embed-english-v3.0.jsonl.txt

Effectiveness

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

AP@1000 cohere-embed-english-v3.0
DL19 (Passage) 0.4884
nDCG@10 cohere-embed-english-v3.0
DL19 (Passage) 0.6956
R@100 cohere-embed-english-v3.0
DL19 (Passage) 0.6484
R@1000 cohere-embed-english-v3.0
DL19 (Passage) 0.8630

Note that since we're running brute-force search with cached queries on non-quantized indexes, the results should be reproducible exactly.

❗ Retrieval metrics here are computed to depth 1000 hits per query (as opposed to 100 hits per query for document ranking). For computing nDCG, remember that we keep qrels of all relevance grades, whereas for other metrics (e.g., AP), relevance grade 1 is considered not relevant (i.e., use the -l 2 option in trec_eval). The experimental results reported here are directly comparable to the results reported in the track overview paper.
