Scalable training for dense retrieval models.

Primary LanguagePython

Scalable implementation of dense retrieval.

This repo implements the following papers:

Input Data Format (JSONL)

Linewise JSON file where each row typically looks like:

{
    "question": ...,
    "positive_ctxs": [
        {
        "title": "...",
        "text": "....",
        <optional>
        "id": ...,
        "relevance": ...
        }, {...}, ...
    ],
    "hard_negative_ctxs": [{...}, {...}, ...]
}

or

{
    "question": ...,
    "id": ...,
    "ctxs": [
        {
        "has_answer": True or False,    
        "title": "...",
        "text": "....",
        <optional>
        "id": ...,
        "relevance": ...
        }, {...}, ...
    ]
}

If your training data is large, you can use a lightweight format by specifying the line number (docidx starting from 0) of the document in the corpus without storing its title and text:

{
    "question": ...,
    "positive_ctxs": [
        {
        "docidx": ..., # denote the position of the passage in the corpus, starting from 0
        <optional>
        "id": ...,
        "relevance": ...
        }, {...}, ...
    ],
    "hard_negative_ctxs": [{...}, {...}, ...]
}

This format requires you to use DenseRetrieverMultiJsonlDataModule and set --corpus_path while training. See below example with config msmarco_baseline.yaml. The corpus format follow the default Wiki corpus format with header at first line:

id"\t"text"\t"title
<id>"\t"<text>"\t"<title>
...

Training on cluster

By default it trains locally:

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/main.py trainer.gpus=1

You can try our example of baseline training locally on MS MARCO dataset with the lightweight data format:

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/main.py -m --config-name msmarco_baseline.yaml 

SLURM Training

To train the model on SLURM, run:

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/main.py -m trainer=slurm trainer.num_nodes=2 trainer.gpus=2

Reproduce DPR on 8 gpus

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/main.py -m --config-name nq.yaml  +hydra.launcher.name=dpr_stl_nq_reproduce

Generate embeddings on Wikipedia

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/generate_embeddings.py -m --config-name nq.yaml datamodule=generate datamodule.test_path=psgs_w100.tsv +task.ctx_embeddings_dir=<CTX_EMBEDDINGS_DIR> +task.checkpoint_path=<CHECKPOINT_PATH>

Get retrieval results

Currently this runs on 1 GPU. Use CTX_EMBEDDINGS_DIR from above.

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/run_retrieval.py --config-name nq.yaml trainer=gpu_1_host trainer.gpus=1 +task.output_path=<PATH_TO_OUTPUT_JSON> +task.ctx_embeddings_dir=<CTX_EMBEDDINGS_DIR> +task.checkpoint_path=<CHECKPOINT_PATH> +task.passages=psgs_w100.tsv datamodule.test_path=<PATH_TO_QUERIES_JSONL>

Generate query embeddings

Alternatively, query embedding generation and retrieval can be separated. After query embeddings are generated using the following command, the run_retrieval_fb.py or run_retrieval_multiset.py script can be used to perform retrieval.

PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python dpr_scale/generate_query_embeddings.py -m --config-name nq.yaml trainer.gpus=1 datamodule.test_path=<PATH_TO_QUERIES_JSONL> +task.ctx_embeddings_dir=<CTX_EMBEDDINGS_DIR> +task.checkpoint_path=<CHECKPOINT_PATH> +task.query_emb_output_path=<OUTPUT_TO_QUERY_EMB>

Get evaluation metrics for a given JSON output file

python dpr_scale/eval_dpr.py --retrieval <PATH_TO_OUTPUT_JSON> --topk 1 5 10 20 50 100 

Get evaluation metrics for MSMARCO

python dpr_scale/msmarco_eval.py ~data/msmarco/qrels.dev.small.tsv PATH_TO_OUTPUT_JSON
