This is a copy of the [Multi-XScience](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_x_science_sum) dataset, except the input source documents of its `test` split have been replaced by a __dense__ retriever. The retrieval pipeline used:

- __query__: The `related_work` field of each example
- __corpus__: The union of all documents in the `train`, `validation` and `test` splits
- __retriever__: [`facebook/contriever-msmarco`](https://huggingface.co/facebook/contriever-msmarco) via [PyTerrier](https://pyterrier.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) with default settings
- __top-k strategy__: `"max"`, i.e. the number of documents retrieved, `k`, is set as the maximum number of documents seen across examples in this dataset

Retrieval results on the `test` set:

|ndcg | recall@100 | recall@1000 | Rprec |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| 0.3783 | 0.5229 | 0.7217 | 0.2081 |
