We present the content-focused Neural-IR-Explorer, which empowers users to browse through retrieval results and inspect the inner workings and fine-grained results of neural re-ranking models. The explorer complements metrics based evaluation, by focusing on the content of queries and documents, and how the neural models relate them to each other. Users can explore each query result in more detail: We show the internal partial scores and content of the returned documents with different highlighting modes to surface the inner workings of a neural re-ranking model. The explorer displays data created by a batched evaluation run of a neural re-ranking model. Additionally, the Neural-IR-Explorer also illuminates the pool bias [12] of the MSMARCO ranking collection: The small number of judged documents per query makes the evaluation fragile. We presented the content-focused Neural-IR-Explorer to complement metric based evaluation of retrieval models. ./cache/cord-020841-40f2p3t4.txt ./txt/cord-020841-40f2p3t4.txt
