Requirements: python=3.8 transformers=4.17.0 datasets=1.18.3 wandb
Note: This is not the official repository.
Goal of this repository
Reproduce the results of DSI Large, Naive String Docid, NQ10K. According to Table 3 in the original paper, we should have Hits@1=0.347,Hits@10=0.605
Step1: Create NQ10K training (indexing) and validation datasets
cd data/NQ
python3 create_NQ_train_vali.py
Step2: Run training script
cd back to the root directory and run:
python3 train.py
we use wandb to log the Hits scores during training:
Discussion
As the above plots show, the current implementation is worse than what is reported in the original paper, there are many possible reasons: the ratio of training and indexing examples (we use 1:1), number of training steps, the way of constructing documents text, etc. Although, seems the scores are on par with BM25 already.
If you can identify the reason or any bug, welcome to open a PR to fix it!
