# MEDI dataset

This dataset was used in the paper GISTEmbed: Guided In-sample Selection of Training Negatives for Text Embedding Fine-tuning. Refer to https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.16829 for details.

The original dataset comes from the paper "One Embedder, Any Task: Instruction-Finetuned Text Embeddings" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09741), which was used to train the INSTRUCTOR family of models (GitHub: https://github.com/xlang-ai/instructor-embedding).

The code for processing and publishing the raw data to HuggingFace Hub is available at https://github.com/avsolatorio/GISTEmbed.
