Anserini Regressions: ClueWeb09 (Category B)

Models: various bag-of-words approaches

This page describes regressions for the Web Tracks from TREC 2009 to 2012 using the ClueWeb09 (Category B) 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.

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 cw09b

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

bin/run.sh io.anserini.index.IndexCollection \
  -threads 44 \
  -collection ClueWeb09Collection \
  -input /path/to/cw09b \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.cw09b/ \
  -storeRaw \
  >& logs/log.cw09b &

The directory /path/to/ClueWeb09b should be the root directory of the ClueWeb09 (Category B) collection, i.e., ls /path/to/ClueWeb09b should bring up a bunch of subdirectories, en0000 to enwp03.

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. They are downloaded from NIST:

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

bin/run.sh io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
