Information Retrieval for experimaestro

Information Retrieval module for experimaestro

The full documentation can be read at IR@experimaestro.

Finally, you can find the roadmap.

Install

Base experimaestro-IR can be installed with pip install xpmir. Functionalities can be added by installing optional dependencies:

• pip install xpmir[neural] to install neural-IR packages (torch, etc.)
• pip install xpmir[anserini] to install Anserini related packages

For the development version, you can:

• If you just want the development version: install with pip install git+https://github.com/experimaestro/experimaestro-ir.git
• If you want to edit the code: clone and then do a pip install -e . within the directory

What's inside?

• Collection management (using datamaestro)
  • Interface for the IR datasets library
  • Splitting IR datasets
  • Shuffling training triplets
• Representation
  • Word Embeddings
  • HuggingFace transformers
• Indices
  • dense: FAISS interface
  • sparse: xpmir-rust library
• Standard Indexing and Retrieval
  • Anserini
• Learning to Rank

  • (alpha) DuoBERT (Multi-Stage Document Ranking with BERT. Rodrigo Nogueira, Wei Yang, Kyunghyun Cho, Jimmy Lin. 2019)
  • (beta) Splade v2 (SPLADE v2: Sparse Lexical and Expansion Model for Information Retrieval, Thibault Formal, Carlos Lassance, Benjamin Piwowarski, and Stéphane Clinchant. SIGIR 2021)
  • (planned) ANCE
• Pre-trained models
  • HuggingFace integration (direct, through the Sentence Transformers library)
