+ # Dataset Card for CLIRudit

79
+ <!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
80
+
81
+ **CLIRudit** is a dataset for **academic Cross-lingual information retrieval** (CLIR), consisting of English queries and French documents, based on [**Érudit**](https://www.erudit.org/en/), a non-profit publishing platform based in Quebec, Canada.
82
+
83
+ The CLIRudit dataset follows a TREC-style structure with three main components:
84
+
85
+ * **Queries**: Generated from English keywords of research articles by creating all possible three-keyword combinations.
86
+ For example, an article with keywords {A, B, C, D} would generate four queries: "A, B, C", "A, B, D", "A, C, D", and "B, C, D".
87
+ * **Relevance judgments (qrels)**: A document is considered relevant to a query if its English keywords metadata contains all keywords present in the query, reflecting the assumption that authors want their articles to be discoverable through these keywords.
88
+ * **Document collection**: Each document consists of concatenated French title, subtitle, and abstract, which serves as the retrieval unit.
89
+
90
+ The dataset includes only Érudit **research articles** containing both abstracts and keywords in both French and English.
91
+ The translations between languages were provided by the original authors of the articles.
92
+
93
+ As an _empirical upper bound_, we also include the actual English translations of the French titles, subtitles, and abstracts as documents.
94
+ This represents the best possible performance that can be achieved by a retrieval method with perfect translation.
