Bases: capreolus.ModuleBase

Base class for Searcher modules. The purpose of a Searcher is to query a collection via an Index module.

Similar to Rerankers, Searchers return a list of documents and their relevance scores for a given query. Searchers are unsupervised and efficient, whereas Rerankers are supervised and do not use an inverted index directly.

Modules should provide:
  • a query(string) and a query_from_file(path) method that return document scores
module_type = searcher[source]
static load_trec_run(fn)[source]
static write_trec_run(preds, outfn)[source]
query_from_file(self, topicsfn, output_path)[source]
query(self, query, **kwargs)[source]

search document based on given query, using parameters in config as default
