# 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 for passages in the African languages.
This dataset repo contains only the queries and relevance judgements. The corpus collection can be found here [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/CIRAL/ciral-corpus)
# Dataset Structure
1. To download the files: The queries can be found under `ciral-{lang}/topics` and are in `.tsv` formats with each line in the form:
```
qid\tquery
```
while the judgements are in the folder `ciral-{lang}/qrels`, with each file in the standard TREC format:
```
qid Q0 docid relevance
```
2. To access the dataset via `datasets`:
```
ciral_dataset = load_dataset("ciral/ciral", "hausa") #or swahili, somali, yoruba
for data in ciral_dataset['dev']: # or 'testA' or 'testB'
query_id = data['query_id']
query = data['query']
pos_qrels = data['positive_passages']
neg_qrels = data['negative_passages']
# To load test set A's pool judgments
pools_pos_qrels = data['pools_positive_passages']
pools_neg_qrels = data['pools_negative_passages']
for qrel in pos_qrels:
docid = qrel['docid']
text = qrel['text']
```
