# BillSumUS (MTEB formsat) |
|
|
This is the federal US test split of the [BillSum](https://huggingface.co/datasets/FiscalNote/billsum) dataset formatted in the [Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB)](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb) information retrieval dataset format. |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is intended to facilitate the consistent and reproducible evaluation of information retrieval models on BillSum with the [`mteb`](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb) embedding model evaluation framework. |
|
|
|
|
|
More specifically, this dataset tests the ability of information retrieval models to retrieve US congressional bills based on their summaries. |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset has been processed into the MTEB format by [Isaacus](https://isaacus.com/), a legal AI research company. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Methodology 🧪 |
|
|
To understand how BillSum itself was created, refer to its [documentation](https://github.com/FiscalNote/BillSum). |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset was formatted by taking the federal US split of BillSum, treating summaries as queries (or anchors) and bills as relevant (or positive) passages, and randomly sampling 500 examples (as per MTEB guidelines, to keep the size of this evaluation set manageable). |
|
|
|
|
|
## Structure 🗂️ |
|
|
As per the MTEB information retrieval dataset format, this dataset comprises three splits, `default`, `corpus` and `queries`. |
|
|
|
|
|
The `default` split pairs summaries (`query-id`) with the raw text of the bills (`corpus-id`), each pair having a `score` of 1. |
|
|
|
|
|
The `corpus` split contains bills, with the text of a bill being stored in the `text` key and its id being stored in the `_id` key. |
|
|
|
|
|
The `queries` split contains summaries, with the text of a summary being stored in the `text` key and its id being stored in the `_id` key. |
