MS MARCO with hard negatives from msmarco-MiniLM-L-6-v3

MS MARCO is a large scale information retrieval corpus that was created based on real user search queries using the Bing search engine. For each query and gold positive passage, the 50 most similar paragraphs were mined using 13 different models. The resulting data can be used to train Sentence Transformer models.

Dataset Subsets

Unique Triplets

For each query-positive pair, mine the passage most similar to the query and consider it as a negative. We release two subsets, one with strings (triplet) and one with IDs (triplet-ids) to be used with sentence-transformers/msmarco-corpus.

triplet subset

• Columns: "query", "positive", "negative"
• Column types: str, str, str
• Examples:

All Triplets

For each query-positive pair, mine the 50 most similar passages to the query and consider them as negatives, resulting in 50 triplets for each query-positive pair. We release two subsets, one with strings (triplet-all) and one with IDs (triplet-all-ids) to be used with sentence-transformers/msmarco-corpus.

Hard Triplets

For each query-positive pair, mine the 50 most similar passages to the query and consider them as negatives. Filter these 50 negatives such that similarity(query, positive) > similarity(query, negative) + margin, with cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2 and margin = 3.0. In short, we rely on a CrossEncoder to try and make sure that the negatives are indeed dissimilar to the query. We release two subsets, one with strings (triplet-hard) and one with IDs (triplet-hard-ids) to be used with sentence-transformers/msmarco-corpus.
