NFCorpus: A Full-Text Learning to Rank Dataset for Medical Information Retrieval
| Task category | t2t |
| Domains | Medical, Academic, Written |
| Reference | https://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/statnlpgroup/nfcorpus/ |
How to evaluate on this task
You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:
import mteb
task = mteb.get_tasks(["NFCorpus"])
evaluator = mteb.MTEB(task)
model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
evaluator.run(model)
To learn more about how to run models on mteb task check out the GitHub repitory.
Citation
If you use this dataset, please cite the dataset as well as mteb, as this dataset likely includes additional processing as a part of the MMTEB Contribution.
