CoSPLADE: Contextualizing SPLADE for Conversational Information Retrieval

This repository contains the source code for the CoSPLADE paper implemented with the experimaestro-ir (XPMIR) library.

The code is currently under development: the first stage training is working.

To run the experiments on a cluster, you need to configure experimaestro launchers and main settings.

Installation

To install the necessary requirements, use

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
