+## Dataset Summary
+
+**CQADupstack-stats-Fa** is a Persian (Farsi) dataset developed for the **Retrieval** task, focusing on **duplicate question detection** in community question-answering (CQA) platforms. This dataset is a translated version of the **"Cross Validated" (Stats)** subforum from the English **CQADupstack** collection and is part of the **FaMTEB** benchmark under the **BEIR-Fa** suite.
+
+- **Language(s):** Persian (Farsi)  
+- **Task(s):** Retrieval (Duplicate Question Retrieval)  
+- **Source:** Translated from English using Google Translate  
+- **Part of FaMTEB:** Yes — under BEIR-Fa
+
+## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+This dataset evaluates **text embedding models** on their ability to retrieve **semantically similar or duplicate questions** in domains such as **statistics, machine learning, and data analysis**. Results can be viewed on the **Persian MTEB Leaderboard** (filter by language: Persian).
+
+## Construction
+
+The dataset was generated through:
+
+- Translating the "stats" StackExchange subforum from CQADupstack via **Google Translate API**
+- Retaining the original CQA structure for **duplicate retrieval**
+
+According to the FaMTEB paper, the BEIR-Fa datasets underwent quality validation via:
+
+- **BM25 retrieval performance comparisons** (English vs Persian)  
+- **GEMBA-DA evaluation**, leveraging LLMs for translation quality assurance
+
+## Data Splits
+
+As per the FaMTEB paper (Table 5), all **CQADupstack-Fa** sub-datasets are part of a shared evaluation pool:
+
+- **Train:** 0 samples  
+- **Dev:** 0 samples  
+- **Test:** 480,902 samples (aggregate)
+
+The exact subset size for `cqadupstack-stats-fa` is approximately **43.8k examples** (user-provided). For detailed splits, consult the FaMTEB dataset repository or maintainers.
