Anserini: Regressions for ClueWeb12-B13
This page describes regressions for the Web Tracks from TREC 2013 and 2014 using the ClueWeb12-B13 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.
Typical indexing command:
nohup sh target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection -collection ClueWeb12Collection \
-input /path/to/cw12b13 \
-index indexes/lucene-index.cw12b13.pos+docvectors+raw \
-generator DefaultLuceneDocumentGenerator \
-threads 44 -storePositions -storeDocvectors -storeRaw \
>& logs/log.cw12b13 &
The directory /path/to/cw12-b13/ should be the root directory of the ClueWeb12-B13 collection, i.e., /path/to/cw12-b13/ should bring up a bunch of subdirectories, ClueWeb12_00 to ClueWeb12_18.
For additional details, see explanation of common indexing options.
Topics and qrels are stored in src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/, downloaded from NIST:
topics.web.201-250.txt: topics for the TREC 2013 Web Track (Topics 201-250)topics.web.251-300.txt: topics for the TREC 2014 Web Track (Topics 251-300)qrels.web.201-250.txt: one aspect per topic qrels for the TREC 2013 Web Track (Topics 201-250)qrels.web.251-300.txt: one aspect per topic qrels for the TREC 2014 Web Track (Topics 251-300)
