# 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'] |
|
``` |
