# Baidu ULTR Dataset - Baidu BERT-12l-12h
## Setup
1. Install huggingface [datasets](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/installation)
2. Install [pandas](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas) and [pyarrow](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/index.html): `pip install pandas pyarrow`
3. Optionally, you might need to install a [pyarrow-hotfix](https://github.com/pitrou/pyarrow-hotfix) if you cannot install `pyarrow >= 14.0.1` 
4. You can now use the dataset as described below.

## Load train / test click dataset:
```Python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "philipphager/baidu-ultr_baidu-mlm-ctr",
    name="clicks",
    split="train", # ["train", "test"]
    cache_dir="~/.cache/huggingface",
)

dataset.set_format("torch") #  [None, "numpy", "torch", "tensorflow", "pandas", "arrow"]
```

## Load expert annotations:
```Python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "philipphager/baidu-ultr_baidu-mlm-ctr",
    name="annotations",
    split="test",
    cache_dir="~/.cache/huggingface",
)

dataset.set_format("torch") #  [None, "numpy", "torch", "tensorflow", "pandas", "arrow"]
```

## Example PyTorch collate function
Each sample in the dataset is a single query with multiple documents.
The following example demonstrates how to create a batch containing multiple queries with varying numbers of documents by applying padding: 

```Python
import torch
from typing import List
from collections import defaultdict
from torch.nn.utils.rnn import pad_sequence
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader


def collate_clicks(samples: List):
    batch = defaultdict(lambda: [])

    for sample in samples:
        batch["query_document_embedding"].append(sample["query_document_embedding"])
        batch["position"].append(sample["position"])
        batch["click"].append(sample["click"])
        batch["n"].append(sample["n"])

    return {
        "query_document_embedding": pad_sequence(batch["query_document_embedding"], batch_first=True),
        "position": pad_sequence(batch["position"], batch_first=True),
        "click": pad_sequence(batch["click"], batch_first=True),
        "n": torch.tensor(batch["n"]),
    }

loader = DataLoader(dataset, collate_fn=collate_clicks, batch_size=16)
```
