YAML Init Parameters

Here are the parameters you can configure for InterleaveDocuments in the pipeline YAML configuration:

Parameter	Type	Possible Values	Description
`interleaving_mode`	Literal	`team_draft` `random` `balanced` `optimized` `probabilistic` `pairwise_preference` Default: `team_draft`	The interleaving mode to use. You can choose one of the following modes: - `team_draft`: Alternates between picking documents from each retriever in turn. For example, if you have RetrieverA and RetrieverB, this mode picks a document from RetrieverA, then a document from RetrieverB, then a document from RetrieverA, and so on. - `random`: Randomly interleaves the documents the retrievers return. - `balanced`: Works similarly to the `team_draft` mode with the difference that it ensures documents coming from each retriever have an equal chance of appearing in each position in the final list. This means that if a document from RetrieverA is chosen first for the top position, the next time (for a different query) a document from RetrieverB is chosen first for the top position. Can work with a maximum of two input lists. - `optimized`: Interleaves documents so that the differences in the effectiveness of the retrievers are most evident, based on the Multileaved Comparisons for Fast Online Evaluation paper. - `probabilistic`: Uses statistical probability when choosing a document from a particular retriever. - `pairwise_preference`: Interleaves pairs of documents in a single list. Each pair consists of documents, each from a different retriever, that are similar or closely ranked. Required.
`top_k_join`	Integer	Default: `None`	The maximum number of documents to return in an interleaved list. If set to `None`, returns all documents. Optional.
`score_mode`	Literal	`none` `keep` `mock` Default: `none`	Sets the score of the documents. Possible modes: - `none`: Sets the score to None. - `keep`: Keeps the original score the document got from the retriever. - `mock`: Sets the score to 1. Required.
`shortest_cap`	Boolean	`True` `False` Default: `False`	It's useful when the lists of documents coming from different retrievers significantly differ in length. When set to `True`, it only interleaves as many items as the length of the shortest input list. This way, you can avoid a situation where one of the retrievers returns a longer list of documents, and then the interleaved list contains mostly documents from this retriever. If the shortest list is empty, you get no results. Required.
