A code retrieval task based on 164 Python programming problems from HumanEval. Each query is a natural language description of a programming task (e.g., 'Check if in given list of numbers, are any two numbers closer to each other than given threshold'), and the corpus contains Python code implementations. The task is to retrieve the correct code snippet that solves the described problem. Queries are problem descriptions while the corpus contains Python function implementations with proper indentation and logic.

## How to evaluate on this task

You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:

```python
import mteb

task = mteb.get_task("HumanEvalRetrieval")
evaluator = mteb.MTEB([task])

model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
evaluator.run(model)
```

<!-- Datasets want link to arxiv in readme to autolink dataset with paper -->
To learn more about how to run models on `mteb` task check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb).

## Citation

If you use this dataset, please cite the dataset as well as [mteb](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb), as this dataset likely includes additional processing as a part of the [MMTEB Contribution](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb/tree/main/docs/mmteb).
