Anserini: Regressions for ClueWeb09 (Category B)
Typical indexing command:
nohup sh target/appassembler/bin/IndexCollection -collection ClueWeb09Collection \
-generator JsoupGenerator -threads 44 -input /path/to/cw09b -index \
lucene-index.cw09b.pos+docvectors+rawdocs -storePositions -storeDocvectors \
-storeRawDocs >& log.cw09b.pos+docvectors+rawdocs &
The directory /path/to/ClueWeb09b should be the root directory of ClueWeb09B 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.
Topics and qrels are stored in src/main/resources/topics-and-qrels/, downloaded from NIST:
topics.web.1-50.txt: Topics 1-50 (TREC 2009 Web Track)topics.web.51-100.txt: Topics 51-100 (TREC 2010 Web Track)topics.web.101-150.txt: Topics 101-150 (TREC 2011 Web Track)topics.web.151-200.txt: Topics 151-200 (TREC 2012 Web Track)qrels.web.1-50.txt: adhoc prels for category B runs for Topics 1-50 (TREC 2009 Web Track)qrels.web.51-100.txt: adhoc qrels for Topics 51-100 (TREC 2010 Web Track)qrels.web.101-150.txt: adhoc qrels for Topics 101-150 (TREC 2011 Web Track)qrels.web.151-200.txt: adhoc qrels for Topics 151-200 (TREC 2012 Web Track)
After indexing has completed, you should be able to perform retrieval as follows:
