Datasets:
Binary scores
According to the paper by Boteva et al. (2016) the Arguana dataset provides
relevance links at 3 levels for thousands of queries in layman’s English to documents consisting of abstracts of research article
which is detailed as follows:
We assign relevance levels to a query q with respect to a scientific document d from three possible values: The most relevant level (2) corresponds to a direct link from q to d from the cited sources section of a page, the next level (1) is used if there exists another query q′ that directly links to d and also q’s text contains an internal link to q′. Finally, the lowest level of (0) is reserved for every marginally relevant q′ and document d.
However, the HF dataset only contains binary labels. Is this a simplified version or why are the 3 levels of relevance not included?
Thanks,

@Manuel2k , this dataset is derived from BEIR, so I would ask the team behind that for the reasoning. Feel free to open an issue on the MTEB repo as well (that way we can keep track on the issue and can also tag some of the BEIR authors)
