NPR — Training, unified schema
A normalised copy of the dataset behind the mteb task NPR, a retrieval training set built from sentence-transformers/npr. Same queries, documents
and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by every dataset
in this collection.
| Source | sentence-transformers/npr @ 6089338c3666 (the revision pinned in mteb) |
| Domain · languages | news · eng |
| Queries / documents / qrels | 568,581 / 582,524 / 583,746 |
| Qrels per query | min 1 · mean 1.027 · max 274 |
| Score values | 1 ×583,746 |
| Layout | queries · corpus · qrels · hard-negatives · teacher-scores, split train |
| Splits | corpus: train · hard-negatives: train · qrels: train · queries: train · teacher-scores: train |
| Hard negatives | none yet — config present with 0 rows |
| Teacher scores | none yet — config present with 0 rows |
| Reading empty configs | datasets cannot return a 0-example split (load_dataset raises "corresponds to no data"); until rows exist, read the Parquet directly with pyarrow/polars/pandas. The schema is declared in the file and in configs: above |
| Ids | sha1(text)[:20]; identical texts collapse to one document (11,860 collapsed) |
| Pair recovery | 583,746 of 583,746 source pairs reconstructed from queries × qrels × corpus with byte-equal text |
| License | unspecified |
Schema
| config | columns | rules |
|---|---|---|
queries |
id: string, text: string |
ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel |
corpus |
id: string, title: string, text: string |
title is always present ("" when the source has none) |
qrels |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, score: int32 |
referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats |
hard-negatives |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, rank: int32, source: string |
one row per mined negative; (query-id, corpus-id, source) unique; never a labelled positive of the same query |
teacher-scores |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, teacher: string, score: float32 |
one row per scored pair (positives included); a row means scored — never a placeholder |
Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator
before publishing; provenance.json records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.
What changed from the source
- byte-preserved all text — no whitespace, newline, or control-character normalisation
