TILDE Description

TILDE (Term Independent Likelihood moDEl) serves as a framework for passage re-ranking and expansion, utilizing BERT to boost retrieval effectiveness by merging sparse term matching with advanced contextual representations. The initial version of TILDE calculates term weights across the full BERT vocabulary, which can result in significantly large index sizes. To optimize this, TILDEv2 offers a more streamlined method by determining term weights solely for words found in expanded passages, leading to indexes that are 99% smaller compared to those generated by the original TILDE. This increased efficiency is made possible by employing TILDE as a model for passage expansion, where passages are augmented with top-k terms (such as the top 200) to enhance their overall content. Additionally, it includes scripts that facilitate the indexing of collections, the re-ranking of BM25 results, and the training of models on datasets like MS MARCO, thereby providing a comprehensive toolkit for improving information retrieval tasks. Ultimately, TILDEv2 represents a significant advancement in managing and optimizing passage retrieval systems.
