Intra-Document Cascading (IDCM)
We provide a retrieval trained IDCM model. Our model is trained on MSMARCO-Document with up to 2000 tokens.
This instance can be used to re-rank a candidate set of long documents. The base BERT architecure is a 6-layer DistilBERT.
If you want to know more about our intra document cascading model & training procedure using knowledge distillation check out our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.09816 🎉
For more information, training data, source code, and a minimal usage example please visit: https://github.com/sebastian-hofstaetter/intra-document-cascade
Configuration
- Trained with fp16 mixed precision
- We select the top 4 windows of size (50 + 2*7 overlap words) with our fast CK model and score them with BERT
- The published code here is only usable for inference (we removed the training code)

Effectiveness on MSMARCO Passage & TREC Deep Learning '19
We trained our model on the MSMARCO-Document collection. We trained the selection module CK with knowledge distillation from the stronger BERT model.
For re-ranking we used the top-100 BM25 results. The throughput of IDCM should be ~600 documents with max 2000 tokens per second.
MSMARCO-Document-DEV
MRR@10 | NDCG@10 | |
---|---|---|
BM25 | .252 | .311 |
IDCM | .380 | .446 |
TREC-DL'19 (Document Task)
For MRR we use the recommended binarization point of the graded relevance of 2. This might skew the results when compared to other binarization point numbers.
MRR@10 | NDCG@10 | |
---|---|---|
BM25 | .661 | .488 |
IDCM | .916 | .688 |
For more metrics, baselines, info and analysis, please see the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.09816
Limitations & Bias
The model inherits social biases from both DistilBERT and MSMARCO.
The model is only trained on longer documents of MSMARCO, so it might struggle with especially short document text - for short text we recommend one of our MSMARCO-Passage trained models.
