The MSMARCO training data used to train the models from Hypencoder: Hypernetworks for Information Retrieval .

Dataset Overview

This dataset is based on the MSMARCO Passage dataset and includes all the queries which have a positive passage in the original dataset (there are additional queries with no positive passages which we do not use). Each query has the known positive passage as well as 200 additional passages. These additional passages may be unlabeled positives or negatives. Each associated passage has a score from cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-12-v2 which were used for distillation training. The passages are ordered by the teacher score.

Dataset Construction

The 200 associated passages for each query were found by retrieving the top 800 passages using an early version of Hypencoder and then (1) selecting the top 100 passages (2) another 100 from the bottom 700 passages uniformly at random. Additionally, the known relevant passage provided by MSMARCO is added.

All query-passage pairs were then scored with cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-12-v2 to get teacher scores.

    "tokenized_content": token IDs for bert-base-uncased,
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "id": passage ID which is the same as the one used in MSMARCO,

      "score": Teacher score from 'cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-12-v2/',
      "type": Has two values [null, "given"] if the passage was the provided positive by MSMARCO the type is "given" otherwise it is null.
