SwednRetrieval

An MTEB dataset

Massive Text Embedding Benchmark

The SWE-DN corpus is based on 1,963,576 news articles from the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN) during the years 2000--2020. The articles are filtered to resemble the CNN/DailyMail dataset both regarding textual structure


Task category	t2t
Domains	News, Non-fiction, Written
Reference	https://spraakbanken.gu.se/en/resources/swedn

How to evaluate on this task

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

import mteb

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

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