+### Dataset Summary
+BEIR is a heterogeneous benchmark that has been built from 18 diverse datasets representing 9 information retrieval tasks:
+- Fact-checking: [FEVER](http://fever.ai), [Climate-FEVER](http://climatefever.ai), [SciFact](https://github.com/allenai/scifact)
+- Question-Answering: [NQ](https://ai.google.com/research/NaturalQuestions), [HotpotQA](https://hotpotqa.github.io), [FiQA-2018](https://sites.google.com/view/fiqa/)
+- Bio-Medical IR: [TREC-COVID](https://ir.nist.gov/covidSubmit/index.html), [BioASQ](http://bioasq.org), [NFCorpus](https://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/statnlpgroup/nfcorpus/)
+- News Retrieval: [TREC-NEWS](https://trec.nist.gov/data/news2019.html), [Robust04](https://trec.nist.gov/data/robust/04.guidelines.html)
+- Argument Retrieval: [Touche-2020](https://webis.de/events/touche-20/shared-task-1.html), [ArguAna](tp://argumentation.bplaced.net/arguana/data)
+- Duplicate Question Retrieval: [Quora](https://www.quora.com/q/quoradata/First-Quora-Dataset-Release-Question-Pairs), [CqaDupstack](http://nlp.cis.unimelb.edu.au/resources/cqadupstack/)
+- Citation-Prediction: [SCIDOCS](https://allenai.org/data/scidocs)
+- Tweet Retrieval: [Signal-1M](https://research.signal-ai.com/datasets/signal1m-tweetir.html)
+- Entity Retrieval: [DBPedia](https://github.com/iai-group/DBpedia-Entity/)
+All these datasets have been preprocessed and can be used for your experiments.
+```python
+```
+### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+The dataset supports a leaderboard that evaluates models against task-specific metrics such as F1 or EM, as well as their ability to retrieve supporting information from Wikipedia.
+The current best performing models can be found [here](https://eval.ai/web/challenges/challenge-page/689/leaderboard/).
+### Languages
+All tasks are in English (`en`).
+## Dataset Structure
+All BEIR datasets must contain a corpus, queries and qrels (relevance judgments file). They must be in the following format:
+- `corpus` file: a `.jsonl` file (jsonlines) that contains a list of dictionaries, each with three fields `_id` with unique document identifier, `title` with document title (optional) and `text` with document paragraph or passage. For example: `{"_id": "doc1", "title": "Albert Einstein", "text": "Albert Einstein was a German-born...."}`
+- `queries` file: a `.jsonl` file (jsonlines) that contains a list of dictionaries, each with two fields `_id` with unique query identifier and `text` with query text. For example: `{"_id": "q1", "text": "Who developed the mass-energy equivalence formula?"}`
+- `qrels` file: a `.tsv` file (tab-seperated) that contains three columns, i.e. the `query-id`, `corpus-id` and `score` in this order. Keep 1st row as header. For example: `q1 doc1 1`
+### Data Instances
+A high level example of any beir dataset:
+```python
+corpus = {
+    "doc1" : {
+        "title": "Albert Einstein",
+        "text": "Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. who developed the theory of relativity, \
+                 one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). His work is also known for \
+                 its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his massâ€“energy \
+                 equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed 'the world's most famous equation'. He received the 1921 \
+                 Nobel Prize in Physics 'for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law \
+                 of the photoelectric effect', a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory."
+        },
+    "doc2" : {
+        "title": "", # Keep title an empty string if not present
+        "text": "Wheat beer is a top-fermented beer which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of \
+                 malted barley. The two main varieties are German WeiÃŸbier and Belgian witbier; other types include Lambic (made\
+                 with wild yeast), Berliner Weisse (a cloudy, sour beer), and Gose (a sour, salty beer)."
+    },
+}
+queries = {
+    "q1" : "Who developed the mass-energy equivalence formula?",
+    "q2" : "Which beer is brewed with a large proportion of wheat?"
+}
+qrels = {
+    "q1" : {"doc1": 1},
+    "q2" : {"doc2": 1},
+}
+```
+### Data Fields
+Examples from all configurations have the following features:
+### Corpus
+- `corpus`: a `dict` feature representing the document title and passage text, made up of:
+    - `_id`: a `string` feature representing the unique document id
+        - `title`: a `string` feature, denoting the title of the document.
+        - `text`: a `string` feature, denoting the text of the document.
+### Queries
+- `queries`: a `dict` feature representing the query, made up of:
+    - `_id`: a `string` feature representing the unique query id
+    - `text`: a `string` feature, denoting the text of the query.
+### Qrels
+- `qrels`: a `dict` feature representing the query document relevance judgements, made up of:
+    - `_id`: a `string` feature representing the query id
+        - `_id`: a `string` feature, denoting the document id.
+        - `score`: a `int32` feature, denoting the relevance judgement between query and document.
