Groupwise Query Performance Prediction with BERT

Xiaoyang Chen, Ben He, Le Sun

While large-scale pre-trained language models like BERT have advanced the state-of-the-art in IR, its application in query performance prediction (QPP) is so far based on pointwise modeling of individual queries. Meanwhile, recent studies suggest that the cross-attention modeling of a group of documents can effectively boost performances for both learning-to-rank algorithms and BERT-based re-ranking. To this end, a BERT-based groupwise QPP model is proposed, in which the ranking contexts of a list of queries are jointly modeled to predict the relative performance of individual queries. Extensive experiments on three standard TREC collections showcase effectiveness of our approach. Our code is available at https://github.com/VerdureChen/Group-QPP.
