NanoBEIR-ar

This dataset is a Nano-style retrieval dataset for HAKARI-bench.

NanoBEIR-ar is the Arabic language-specific component of MNanoBEIR. It groups compact BEIR-derived retrieval tasks for efficient evaluation of document ranking in that language.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset_id = "hakari-bench/NanoBEIR-ar"
split = "NanoArguAna"

queries = load_dataset(dataset_id, "queries", split=split)
corpus = load_dataset(dataset_id, "corpus", split=split)
qrels = load_dataset(dataset_id, "qrels", split=split)
reranking_candidates = load_dataset(dataset_id, "reranking_hybrid", split=split)

Data Layout

This dataset uses six Hugging Face Datasets configs:

• corpus: documents with _id and text
• queries: queries with _id and text
• qrels: positive relevance labels with query-id and corpus-id
• bm25: BM25 candidate lists with query-id and corpus-ids
• harrier_oss_v1_270m: dense candidate lists from microsoft/harrier-oss-v1-270m
• reranking_hybrid: RRF candidate lists built from bm25 and harrier_oss_v1_270m

Each config has the same Nano split names. NanoNFCorpus includes the full positive qrels (2,518 rows); qrels are not capped to the top-100 reranking depth.

Candidate Construction

• bm25: local BM25 top-500 with automatic tokenizer selection. Auto mode uses wordseg for ja, zh, th, ko, and vi, and regex otherwise. The resolved tokenizer is shown for each split in the Candidate Quality table.
• harrier_oss_v1_270m: dense top-500 from microsoft/harrier-oss-v1-270m. In tables this is shown as Dense; Dense means microsoft/harrier-oss-v1-270m with the web_search_query prompt for queries and cosine similarity over normalized embeddings.
• reranking_hybrid: RRF over bm25 and harrier_oss_v1_270m using rrf_k=100, keeping the RRF top-100.

Safeguard means rank 101 is appended only when RRF top-100 contains no qrels-positive document. Qrels are not capped to fit the top-100 reranking depth. For NanoNFCorpus, some queries have more than 100 positive qrels, so top-100 hybrid candidate coverage is expected to be below 100%; this is a candidate-list diagnostic, not a qrels filtering rule.

Split Statistics

Length statistics are character counts computed with len(str(text)).

Candidate Quality

nDCG@10 and Recall@100 are computed from the included candidate rankings against the included qrels, then reported as 0-100 scores such as 52.45. Recall@100 uses only the top 100 candidates; an optional rank-101 safeguard positive is not counted in Recall@100.

Dense means microsoft/harrier-oss-v1-270m with the web_search_query prompt and cosine similarity.
