Abstract

In this paper we describe the approach we used for the passage and document ranking task in the TREC 2021 deep learning track. Our approach aims for efficient retrieval and re-ranking by making use of fast look-up-based forward indexes for dense dual-encoder models. The score of a query-document pair is computed as a linear interpolation of the corresponding lexical (BM25) and semantic (re-ranking) scores. This is akin to performing the re-ranking step “implicitly” together with the retrieval step. We improve efficiency by avoiding forward passes of expensive re-ranking models without compromising performance.
