# NeuCLIRTech Topics and Queries

NeuCLIRTech is an evaluation benchmark for monolingual and cross-language on technical documents

The document collection can be found at [neuclir/csl](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuclir/csl).

## Supporting Tasks and Corresponding Data

NeuCLIRTech supports three types of tasks: Chinese monolingual and English-Chinese cross-language retrieval.
The following specifies the documents, queries, and qrels (labels) that should be used for each task. 

Please report nDCG@20 for all tasks. 

*We use `:` to indicate different subset under the dataset.*

| Task | Documents | Queries | Qrels |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Monolingual    | `neuclir/csl:csl` | `zho` split of `neuclir/tech:queries` | `neuclir/tech:qrels` |
| Cross-Language | `neuclir/csl:csl` | `eng` split of `neuclir/tech:queries` | `neuclir/tech:qrels` |


## Baseline Retrieval Results and Run Files
We also provide all reported baseline retrieval results in the NeuCLIRBench paper. 
Please refer to the paper for the detailed descriptions of each model.

### Run Names
Please refer to the `./runs` directory in this dataset to find all the runs. 
Files follow the naming scheme of `{run_handle}_{task:mono/clir/mlir}_{lang}.trec`. Please refer to the task section for the details.
