OpenNIR-XPM 0.1.2

OpenNIR: A Complete Neural Ad-Hoc Ranking Pipeline (Experimaestro version)

OpenNIR (experimaestro version)

OpenNIR-xpm is an end-to-end neural ad-hoc ranking pipeline.

This is an adaptation of OpenNIR using experiment manager tools (experimaestro and datamaestro).

Quick start

This is an example for training

import logging
import os
from pathlib import Path

from datamaestro import prepare_dataset
from experimaestro.click import click, forwardoption
from experimaestro import experiment
from onir.datasets.robust import RobustDataset
from onir.predictors.reranker import Reranker
from onir.random import Random
from onir.rankers.drmm import Drmm
from onir.tasks.learner import Learner
from onir.tasks.evaluate import Evaluate
from onir.trainers.pointwise import PointwiseTrainer
from onir.vocab.wordvec_vocab import WordvecUnkVocab

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)


# --- Defines the experiment

@forwardoption.max_epoch(Learner)
@click.option("--debug", is_flag=True, help="Print debug information")
@click.option("--port", type=int, default=12345, help="Port for monitoring")
@click.argument("workdir", type=Path)
@click.command()
def cli(port, workdir, debug, max_epoch):
    """Runs an experiment"""
    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG if debug else logging.INFO)

    # Sets the working directory and the name of the xp
    with experiment(workdir, "drmm", port=port) as xp:
        random = Random()
        xp.setenv("JAVA_HOME", os.environ["JAVA_HOME"])

        # Prepare the collection
        wordembs = prepare_dataset("edu.stanford.glove.6b.50")        
        vocab = WordvecUnkVocab(data=wordembs, random=random)
        robust = RobustDataset.prepare().submit()

        # Train with OpenNIR DRMM model
        ranker = Drmm(vocab=vocab).tag("ranker", "drmm")
        predictor = Reranker()
        trainer = PointwiseTrainer()
        learner = Learner(trainer=trainer, random=random, ranker=ranker, valid_pred=predictor, 
            train_dataset=robust.subset('trf1'), val_dataset=robust.subset('vaf1'), max_epoch=max_epoch)
        model = learner.submit()

        # Evaluate
        Evaluate(dataset=robust.subset('f1'), model=model, predictor=predictor).submit()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli()
