Anserini Regressions: NeuCLIR22 — Russian (Document Translation)

This page presents document translation regression experiments for the TREC 2022 NeuCLIR Track, Russian, with the following configuration:

• Queries: English
• Documents: Machine-translated documents from Russian into English (corpus provided by the organizers)
• Model: BM25

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 neuclir22-ru-dt

Corpus Download

The NeuCLIR 2022 corpus can be downloaded following the instructions here.

With the corpus downloaded, unpack into collections/ and run the following command to perform the remaining steps below:

python src/main/python/run_regression.py --index --verify --search --regression neuclir22-ru-dt \
  --corpus-path collections/neuclir22-ru-en

Indexing

Typical indexing command:

target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection \
  -collection NeuClirCollection \
  -input /path/to/neuclir22-ru-en \
  -generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
  -index indexes/lucene-index.neuclir22-ru-en \
  -threads 8 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw \
  >& logs/log.neuclir22-ru-en &

For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.
