# Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
CIRAL is a collection for cross-lingual information retrieval research across four (4) African languages. The collection comprises English queries and query-passage relevance judgements manually annotated by native speakers. |
|
|
|
This dataset stores passages which have been culled from news websites for CIRAL. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
This dataset is configured by language. An example of a passage data entry is |

|
'text': 'This is the content of a sample passage', |
