Applying BERT to Document Retrieval with Birch (D19-3)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Birch is an open-source document retrieval system that integrates with the Anserini information retrieval toolkit to demonstrate end-to-end search over large document collections. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate Anserini with a BERT-based document ranking model that provides an end-to-end open-source search engine. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms existing approaches to document retrieval and question answering on standard newswire and social media test collections. |
