NanoCodeSearchNet
A tiny, evaluation-ready slice of CodeSearchNet (test set) that mirrors the spirit of NanoBEIR: same task, same style, but dramatically smaller so you can iterate and benchmark in minutes instead of hours.
Evaluation can be performed during and after training by integrating with Sentence Transformer's Evaluation module (InformationRetrievalEvaluator).

Notes:
- The above results were computed with
nano_code_search_net_eval.py.
What this dataset is
- A collection of 6 programming-language subsets (
corpus,queries,qrels) published on the Hugging Face Hub underhotchpotch/NanoCodeSearchNet. - Each subset contains 50 test queries and a corpus of up to 10,000 code snippets.
- Queries are function docstrings, and positives are the corresponding function bodies from the same source row.
- Query IDs are
q-<docid>, wheredocidis thefunc_code_urlwhen available. - Built from the CodeSearchNet
testsplit (refs/convert/parquet) with deterministic sampling (seed=42). - License: Other (see CodeSearchNet and upstream repository licenses).

Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
split = "NanoCodeSearchNetPython"
queries = load_dataset("hotchpotch/NanoCodeSearchNet", "queries", split=split)
corpus = load_dataset("hotchpotch/NanoCodeSearchNet", "corpus", split=split)
qrels = load_dataset("hotchpotch/NanoCodeSearchNet", "qrels", split=split)
print(queries[0]["text"])
Example eval code
python ./nano_code_search_net_eval.py \
--model-path intfloat/multilingual-e5-small \
--query-prompt "query: " \
--corpus-prompt "passage: "
For models that require trust_remote_code, add --trust-remote-code (e.g., BAAI/bge-m3).
Why Nano?
- Fast eval loops: 50 queries × 10k docs fits comfortably on a single GPU/CPU run.
- Reproducible: deterministic sampling and stable IDs.
- Drop-in: BEIR/NanoBEIR-style schemas, so existing IR loaders need minimal tweaks.
Upstream sources
- Original data: CodeSearchNet — CodeSearchNet Challenge: Evaluating the State of Semantic Code Search: 1909.09436.
- Base dataset: code-search-net/code_search_net (Hugging Face Hub).
- Inspiration: NanoBEIR (lightweight evaluation subsets).
