# CQADupstackProgrammersRetrieval — BEIR, unified schema

A normalised copy of the dataset behind the `mteb` task **`CQADupstackProgrammersRetrieval`**, one of the tasks of the [BEIR](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir) benchmark as `mteb` defines it (a member of the aggregate task `CQADupstackRetrieval`). Same queries, documents
and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by every dataset
in this collection.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Source | [`mteb/cqadupstack-programmers`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mteb/cqadupstack-programmers/tree/6184bc1440d2dbc7612be22b50686b8826d22b32) @ `6184bc1440d2` (the revision pinned in `mteb`) |
| Domain · languages | stackexchange · eng |
| Queries / documents / qrels | 876 / 32,176 / 1,675 |
| Qrels per query | min 1 · mean 1.912 · max 149 |
| Score values | 1 ×1,675 |
| Layout | `queries` · `corpus` · `qrels`, split `test` |
| License | `cc-by-sa-4.0` |

## Schema

| config | columns | rules |
|---|---|---|
| `queries` | `id: string`, `text: string` | ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel |
| `corpus` | `id: string`, `title: string`, `text: string` | `title` is always present (`""` when the source has none) |
| `qrels` | `query-id: string`, `corpus-id: string`, `score: int32` | referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats |

Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator
before publishing; `provenance.json` records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.

## What changed from the source

- **byte-preserved** all text — no whitespace, newline, or control-character normalisation
- cast `qrels.score` double -> int32
- kept 3 documents whose text is identical to another document's — a property of the source; note that models embed such documents identically and retrieval ties among them are broken by corpus order
- renamed `_id` → `id`
- renamed source splits (`queries`←`queries/queries`, `corpus`←`corpus/corpus`) to `test`

## Load it

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
queries = load_dataset("Hyukkyu/beir-cqadupstack-programmers", "queries", split="test")
corpus  = load_dataset("Hyukkyu/beir-cqadupstack-programmers", "corpus", split="test")
qrels   = load_dataset("Hyukkyu/beir-cqadupstack-programmers", "qrels", split="test")
```
