## :beers: What is it?
**BEIR** is a **heterogeneous benchmark** containing diverse IR tasks. It also provides a **common and easy framework** for evaluation of your NLP-based retrieval models within the benchmark.
For **an overview**, checkout our **new wiki** page: [https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir/wiki](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir/wiki).
For **models and datasets**, checkout out **Hugging Face (HF)** page: [https://huggingface.co/BeIR](https://huggingface.co/BeIR).
For **Leaderboard**, checkout out **Eval AI** page: [https://eval.ai/web/challenges/challenge-page/1897](https://eval.ai/web/challenges/challenge-page/1897).
For more information, checkout out our publications:
- [BEIR: A Heterogenous Benchmark for Zero-shot Evaluation of Information Retrieval Models](https://openreview.net/forum?id=wCu6T5xFjeJ) (NeurIPS 2021, Datasets and Benchmarks Track)
- [Resources for Brewing BEIR: Reproducible Reference Models and an Official Leaderboard](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.07471) (Arxiv 2023)
## :beers: Installation
Install via pip:
```python
pip install beir
```
If you want to build from source, use:
```python
$ git clone https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir.git
$ cd beir
$ pip install -e .
```
Tested with python versions 3.6 and 3.7
## :beers: Features
- Preprocess your own IR dataset or use one of the already-preprocessed 17 benchmark datasets
- Wide settings included, covers diverse benchmarks useful for both academia and industry
- Includes well-known retrieval architectures (lexical, dense, sparse and reranking-based)
- Add and evaluate your own model in a easy framework using different state-of-the-art evaluation metrics
## :beers: Quick Example
For other example codes, please refer to our **[Examples and Tutorials](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir/wiki/Examples-and-tutorials)** Wiki page.
```python
from beir import util, LoggingHandler
from beir.retrieval import models
from beir.datasets.data_loader import GenericDataLoader
from beir.retrieval.evaluation import EvaluateRetrieval
from beir.retrieval.search.dense import DenseRetrievalExactSearch as DRES
import logging
import pathlib, os
#### Just some code to print debug information to stdout
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s',
datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
level=logging.INFO,
handlers=[LoggingHandler()])
#### /print debug information to stdout
#### Download scifact.zip dataset and unzip the dataset
dataset = "scifact"
url = "https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/thakur/BEIR/datasets/{}.zip".format(dataset)
out_dir = os.path.join(pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.absolute(), "datasets")
data_path = util.download_and_unzip(url, out_dir)
#### Provide the data_path where scifact has been downloaded and unzipped
corpus, queries, qrels = GenericDataLoader(data_folder=data_path).load(split="test")
#### Load the SBERT model and retrieve using cosine-similarity
model = DRES(models.SentenceBERT("msmarco-distilbert-base-tas-b"), batch_size=16)
retriever = EvaluateRetrieval(model, score_function="dot") # or "cos_sim" for cosine similarity
results = retriever.retrieve(corpus, queries)
#### Evaluate your model with NDCG@k, MAP@K, Recall@K and Precision@K where k = [1,3,5,10,100,1000]
ndcg, _map, recall, precision = retriever.evaluate(qrels, results, retriever.k_values)
```

## :beers: Disclaimer
Similar to Tensorflow [datasets](https://github.com/tensorflow/datasets) or Hugging Face's [datasets](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets) library, we just downloaded and prepared public datasets. We only distribute these datasets in a specific format, but we do not vouch for their quality or fairness, or claim that you have license to use the dataset. It remains the user's responsibility to determine whether you as a user have permission to use the dataset under the dataset's license and to cite the right owner of the dataset.
If you're a dataset owner and wish to update any part of it, or do not want your dataset to be included in this library, feel free to post an issue here or make a pull request!
If you're a dataset owner and wish to include your dataset or model in this library, feel free to post an issue here or make a pull request!
