Dataset Card for MS MARCO Hard Negatives (OpenSearch)

Dataset Summary

This dataset is derived from the MS MARCO train split(Hugging Face) and provides hard-negative mining annotations to train retrieval systems. For each query from the source split, we retrieve the top-100 candidate documents using the opensearch-project/opensearch-neural-sparse-encoding-doc-v1 and attach re-ranking scores from two cross-encoders: cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L12-v2 and castorini/monot5-3b-msmarco.

⚠️ Licensing/Usage: Because this dataset is derived from MS MARCO, please review Microsoft’s terms before using this dataset. (Microsoft GitHub, GitHub)

How to Load

import datasets
ds = datasets.load_dataset("opensearch-project/msmarco-hard-negatives", split="train")

Training example

To convert the dataset to text-only format for sample repo training:

import datasets

# 1) Load datasets
msmarco_hard_negatives = datasets.load_dataset(
    "opensearch-project/msmarco-hard-negatives", split="train"
)
msmarco_queries = datasets.load_dataset("BeIR/msmarco", "queries")["queries"]
msmarco_corpus = datasets.load_dataset("BeIR/msmarco", "corpus")["corpus"]

# 2) fix occasional text encoding issues
def transform_str(s):
    try:
        s = s.encode("latin1").decode("utf-8")
        return s
    except Exception:
        return s

msmarco_corpus = msmarco_corpus.map(
    lambda x: {"text": transform_str(x["text"])}, num_proc=30
)

# 3) Build convenient lookup tables
id_to_text = {_id: text for _id, text in zip(msmarco_corpus["_id"], msmarco_corpus["text"])}
qid_to_text = {_id: text for _id, text in zip(msmarco_queries["_id"], msmarco_queries["text"])}

# 4) Replace IDs with raw texts to get a text-only dataset
msmarco_hard_negatives = msmarco_hard_negatives.map(
    lambda x: {
        "query": qid_to_text[x["query"]],
        "docs": [id_to_text[doc] for doc in x["docs"]],
    },
    num_proc=30,
)

# 5) Save to disk (directory will contain the text-only view)
msmarco_hard_negatives.save_to_disk("data/msmarco_ft")
