# Bharat-NanoBEIR: Indian Language Information Retrieval Dataset

## Overview
This dataset is part of the Bharat-NanoBEIR collection, which provides information retrieval datasets for Indian languages. It is derived from the NanoBEIR project, which offers smaller versions of BEIR datasets containing 50 queries and up to 10K documents each.

## Dataset Description
This particular dataset is the Manipuri version of the NanoFiQA2018 dataset, specifically adapted for information retrieval tasks. The translation and adaptation maintain the core structure of the original NanoBEIR while making it accessible for Manipuri language processing.

## Usage
This dataset is designed for:
- Information Retrieval (IR) system development in Manipuri
- Evaluation of multilingual search capabilities
- Cross-lingual information retrieval research
- Benchmarking Manipuri language models for search tasks

## Dataset Structure
The dataset consists of three main components:
1. **Corpus**: Collection of documents in Manipuri
2. **Queries**: Search queries in Manipuri
3. **QRels**: Relevance judgments connecting queries to relevant documents
