        ## What is it?
        
        **BEIR** consists a **heterogeneous benchmark** for diverse sentence or passage IR level tasks. It also provides a **common and easy framework** for evaluation of your NLP models on them.
        
        The package takes care of the downloading, hosting, preprocessing datasets and providing you in a single easy to understand dataset zip folders. We take care of transforming the dataset and provide 15 diverse datasets used for IR in the both academia and industry, with more to add. Further the package provides an easy framework to evalaute your models against some competitive benchmarks including Sentence-Transformers (SBERT), Dense Passage Retrieval (DPR), Universal Sentence Encoder (USE-QA) and Elastic Search.
        
        ### Worried about your dataset or model not present in the benchmark?
        
        Worry not! You can easily add your dataset into the benchmark by following this data format (here) and also you are free to evaluate your own model and required to return a dictionary with mappings (here) and you can evaluate your IR model using our easy plugin code.
        
        Want us to add a new dataset or a new model? feel free to post an issue here or make a pull request!
        
        ## Installation
        
        Install via pip:
        
        ```python
        pip install beir
        ```
        
        If you want to build from source, use:
        
        ```python
        $ git clone https://github.com/benchmarkir/beir.git
        $ pip install -e .
        ```
        
        Tested with python versions 3.6 and 3.7
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        Try it out live with our [Google Colab Example](https://colab.research.google.com/github/benchmarkir/beir/blob/main/examples/retrieval/Retrieval_Example.ipynb).
        
        First download and unzip a dataset. Click here to [**view**](https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/thakur/BEIR/datasets/) all datasets available.
        
        ```python
        from beir import util
        
        url = "https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/thakur/BEIR/datasets/trec-covid.zip"
        out_path = "datasets/trec-covid.zip"
        out_dir = "datasets"
        
        util.download_url(url, out_path)
        util.unzip(out_path, out_dir)
        ```
        
        Then load the dataset using our Generic Data Loader, (Wonderful right)
        
        ```python
        from beir.datasets.data_loader import GenericDataLoader
        from beir.retrieval.evaluation import EvaluateRetrieval
        
        data_path = "datasets/trec-covid/"
        corpus, queries, qrels = GenericDataLoader(data_path).load(split="test")
        ```
        
        Now, you can use either Sentence-transformers, DPR or USE-QA as your dense retriever model.
        Format of ``results`` is identical to that of ``qrels``.
        
        ```python
        from beir.retrieval.evaluation import EvaluateRetrieval
        
        retriever = EvaluateRetrieval(model="sbert", model_name="distilroberta-base-msmarco-v2") 
        # retriever = EvaluateRetrieval(model="dpr")
        # retriever = EvaluateRetrieval(model="use-qa")
        
        results = retriever.retrieve(corpus, queries, qrels)
        ```
        
        Finally after retrieving, you can evaluate your IR performance using ``qrels`` and ``results``.
        We find ``NDCG@10`` score for all datasets, for more details on why check our upcoming paper.
        
        ```python
        ndcg, _map, recall, precision = retriever.evaluate(qrels, results, retriever.k_values)
        
        for key, value in ndcg.items():
            print(key, value) 
        # ndcg@1    0.3456
        # ndcg@3    0.4567
        # ...
        ```
