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 Bengali version of the NanoSciFact dataset, specifically adapted for information retrieval tasks. The translation and adaptation maintain the core structure of the original NanoBEIR while making it accessible for Bengali language processing.

Usage

This dataset is designed for:

• Information Retrieval (IR) system development in Bengali
• Evaluation of multilingual search capabilities
• Cross-lingual information retrieval research
• Benchmarking Bengali language models for search tasks
