# Bharat-NanoBEIR: Indian Language Information Retrieval Dataset

## Overview
This dataset is part of the Bharat-NanoBEIR collection, which provides information retrieval datasets for Indian languages. It is derived from the NanoBEIR project, which offers smaller versions of BEIR datasets containing 50 queries and up to 10K documents each.

## Dataset Description
This particular dataset is the Bhojpuri version of the NanoHotpotQA dataset, specifically adapted for information retrieval tasks. The translation and adaptation maintain the core structure of the original NanoBEIR while making it accessible for Bhojpuri language processing.

## Usage
This dataset is designed for:
- Information Retrieval (IR) system development in Bhojpuri
- Evaluation of multilingual search capabilities
- Cross-lingual information retrieval research
- Benchmarking Bhojpuri language models for search tasks

## Dataset Structure
The dataset consists of three main components:
1. **Corpus**: Collection of documents in Bhojpuri
2. **Queries**: Search queries in Bhojpuri
3. **QRels**: Relevance judgments connecting queries to relevant documents
