thesis

installing the environment

(install miniconda, checking the box too add it to PATH: https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/) and restart the command prompt

conda create -n thesis python=3.10
conda activate thesis

then install torch with CUDA (will probably differ on your machine; setup.py does not allow a custom index_url, so this has to be done manually):

pip3 install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

also install custom nmslib to be able to use python 3.10 (see nmslib/nmslib#534):

pip install nmslib-metabrainz

and then install the rest of the packages:

pip install -e .

running the ollama embeddings proxy server (in a separate terminal):

python -m lkae.ollama_proxy

adding the clef GitLab repo to conveniently load data

at the repo root (here) execute

git clone https://gitlab.com/checkthat_lab/clef2024-checkthat-lab.git

Misc

note to self: had to turn off this check in pyterrier.batchretrieve _retrieve_one():

ln. 360        # if num_expected is not None:
ln. 361            # assert(num_expected == len(result))
