🎄 PyTerrier Advent 24/25: Removing low-quality docs can boost search quality and cut indexing costs. Our SIGIR’24 paper QT5 trains a T5 model to filter passages at indexing time—easy to integrate, and works with dense, PISA, or SPLADE indexes too.

🎄 PyTerrier Advent 22/25: A more complex pipeline—knowledge-graph–enhanced RAG from our EMNLP 2024 paper TRACE. We build a KG over retrieved docs, then use a transformer to reason over triples for better QA. This pipeline instantiation uses a cache (see 20th advent) on LLM-based KG extraction.

🎄 PyTerrier Advent 13/25: Doc2query expands docs with generated queries, but can hallucinate. Our ECIR’23 paper Doc2query-- (aka "minus minus") filters generated queries using a cross-encoder before indexing. PyTerrier pipeline: generate→score→filter→index. 📄https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.03266

🎄PyTerrier Advent 8/25: Beyond sparse! PyTerrier_dr adds dense indexing & retrieval. Instantiate an encoder model, compose with FlexIndex. Retrieval is identical. Support models include: ANCE, TCT-ColBERT, BGE, E5, or any SentenceTransformer model. 👉 github.com/terrierteam/...

🎄We want to try something new and fun this year – an “Advent Calendar” of PyTerrier pipelines 🤓 We’ll kick it off with *the* baseline: BM25 on MSMARCO. One line to download a pre-built index, one line to make a BM25 retriever, one line to search.
