Longformer for MS MARCO Document Re-ranking Task

20 Sep 2020  ·  Ivan Sekulić, Amir Soleimani, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Fabio Crestani ·

Two step document ranking, where the initial retrieval is done by a classical information retrieval method, followed by neural re-ranking model, is the new standard. The best performance is achieved by using transformer-based models as re-rankers, e.g., BERT. We employ Longformer, a BERT-like model for long documents, on the MS MARCO document re-ranking task. The complete code used for training the model can be found on: https://github.com/isekulic/longformer-marco
