<!--- # MSMARCO OFFICIAL WEBPAGE IS [https://microsoft.github.io/msmarco/](https://microsoft.github.io/msmarco/) A Family of datasets built using technology and Data from Microsoft's Bing. > MS MARCO: A Human Generated MAchine Reading COmprehension Dataset > Paper URL : https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.09268 MS MARCO(Microsoft Machine Reading Comprehension) is a large scale dataset focused on machine reading comprehension, question answering, and passage ranking, Keyphrase Extraction, and Conversational Search Studies, or what the community thinks would be useful. First released at [NIPS 2016](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.09268.pdf), the current dataset has 1,010,916 unique real queries that were generated by sampling and anonymizing Bing usage logs. The dataset started off focusing on QnA but has since evolved to focus on any problem related to search. For task specifics please explore some of the tasks that have been built out of the dataset. If you think there is a relevant task we have missed please open an issue explaining your ideas?

We believe the advantages that are special to MSMARCO are: - Real questions: All questions have been sample from real anonymized bing queries. - Real Documents: Most Url's that we have source the passages from contain the full web documents. These can be used as extra contextual information to improve systems or be used to compete in our expert task. - Human Generated Answers: All questions have an answer written by a human. If there was no answer in the passages the judge read they have written 'No Answer Present.' - Human Generated Well-Formed: Some questions contain extra human evaluation to create well formed answers that could be used by intelligent agents like Cortana, Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. - Dataset Size: At over 1 million queries the dataset is large enough to train the most complex systems and also sample the data for specific applications. ## Download the Dataset To Download the MSMARCO Dataset please navigate to [msmarco.org](http://www.msmarco.org/dataset.aspx) and agree to our Terms and Conditions. If there is some data you think we are missing and would be useful please open an issue. # Ranking Task MS MARCO(Microsoft Machine Reading Comprehension) is a large scale dataset focused on machine reading comprehension, question answering, and passage ranking. A variant of this task will be the part of [TREC](https://trec.nist.gov/) and [AFIRM 2019](http://sigir.org/afirm2019/). For Updates about [TREC 2019](https://github.com/dfcf93/DeepLearningTREC2019) please follow [This Repository](https://github.com/dfcf93/DeepLearningTREC2019) ## Passage Reranking task Task Given a query q and a the 1000 most relevant passages P = p1, p2, p3,... p1000, as retrieved by BM25 a succeful system is expected to rerank the most relevant passage as high as possible. For this task not all 1000 relevant items have a human labeled relevant passage. Evaluation will be done using [MRR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_reciprocal_rank) ### Generation To generate the ranking task dataset we started with the regular MSMARCO dataset which means if people want to generate any data in a different format they are more than able to(and even provide us with suggestions!). We are hoping to open source our production code shortly so people can generate the sets for themselves(with any normalization they may find interesting). We collected all unique passages(without any normalization) to make a pool of ~8.8 million unique passages. Then, for each query from the existing MSMARCO splits(train,dev, and eval) we ran a standard [BM25](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25) to produce 1000 relevant passages. These were ordered by random so each query now has 1000 corresponding passages. Since the original 10 passages presented with the query were extracted using the Bing ranking stack it possible that even none of the original passages are present with this new top 1000. During the initial dataset creation, the judges would mark any passage that could answer the query which we then translated into our is_selected labels(relevant/used passages have is_selected=1). If a passage had is_selected=1 then this is a relevant query passage pair. It is worth noting that with these labels a positive is a true positive but negatives may not be a true negative(in other words there may be relevant passages with is_selected=0). It is also worth noting that not all 1000 passages were seen by a judge and even ifWhile this means that it is possible for a system to find more relevant passages To evaluate how well a system is reranking these 1000 relevant passages we use the already existing is_selected flag present in the v2.1 dataset. Given these labels on relevancy, a systems goal should be to rank any of the most relevant passage as high as possible. During the initial dataset creation, the judges would mark any passage that could answer the query which we then translated into our is_selected labels(relevant/used passages have is_selected=1). It is worth noting that with these labels a positive is a true positive but negatives may not be a true negative(in other words there may ne relevant passages with is_selected=0). It is also worth noting that not all 1000 passages were seen by a judge meaning it is possible that there are relevant passages that for purposed of this dataset are not considered relevant. Finally, understanding that this ranking data may not be useful to train a Deep Learning style system we build the triples files(availible in small and large(~27 and ~270gb respectively)). These triples contain a query followed by a passage that has been marked as directly relevant(positive example) and another passage that has not been marked as relevant(negative). We understand that there could be a situtation where a one of the negative examples could actually be more relevant than the positive example but given the task goal is to rank the passages where we have a relevance passage as high as possible so this shouldn't be an issue. ### Data, information, and Formating Given that all files have been generated from the v2.1 dataset meaning that in theory anyone can generate the files we provide to their own specifications and liking. | Description | Filename | File size | Num Records | Format | |-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------:|-----------------------------------:|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Collection | [collection.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/collection.tar.gz) | 2.9 GB | 8,841,823 | tsv: pid, passage | | Queries | [queries.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/queries.tar.gz) | 42.0 MB | 1,010,916 | tsv: qid, query | | Qrels Dev | [qrels.dev.tsv](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/qrels.dev.tsv) | 1.1 MB | 59,273 | TREC qrels format | | Qrels Train | [qrels.train.tsv](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/qrels.train.tsv) | 10.1 MB | 532,761 | TREC qrels format | | Queries, Passages, and Relevance Labels | [collectionandqueries.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/collectionandqueries.tar.gz) | 2.9 GB | 10,406,754 | | | Train Triples Small | [triples.train.small.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/triples.train.small.tar.gz) | 27.1 GB | 39,782,779 | tsv: query, positive passage, negative passage | | Train Triples Large | [triples.train.full.tsv.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/triples.train.full.tsv.gz) | 272.2 GB | 397,756,691 | tsv: query, positive passage, negative passage | | Train Triples QID PID Format | [qidpidtriples.train.full.2.tsv.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/qidpidtriples.train.full.2.tsv.gz) | 5.7 GB | 397,768,673 | tsv: qid, positive pid, negative pid | | Top 1000 Train | [top1000.train.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/top1000.train.tar.gz) | 175.0 GB | 478,016,942 | tsv: qid, pid, query, passage | | Top 1000 Dev | [top1000.dev.tar.gz](https://msmarco.blob.core.windows.net/msmarcoranking/top1000.dev.tar.gz) | 2.4 GB | 6,669,195 | tsv: qid, pid, query, passage | #### Full Documents. The initial MSMARCO dataset included 3.5m urls from which the 8.8m passages were extracted. In March 2018 these urls were scraped and a clean textual representation was created. Due to the time delay many of the domains did not exist and thus we could only product 3.2m documents. These documents can be found in a tsv format that had been cleaned up and optimized for document retrieval and a jsonl format which is mostly for embedding training. The TSV is called []() and format is URL\tTitle\tContent.

At age 8, your child will likely have developed some interests and hobbies and will know what he or she likes or doesn't like.At the same time, children this age are learning more about the world at large and are also better able to navigate social relationships with others more independently, with less guidance from parents. At home, 8-year-olds are able to tackle more complicated household chores and take on more responsibility for taking care of themselves, even helping out with younger siblings.In general, according to the CDC, these are some changes you may see in your child:Shows more independence from parents and family.Starts to think about the future.Understands more about his or her place in the world.Pays more attention to friendships and teamwork.Wants to be liked and accepted by friends.1 Behavior and Daily RoutinesFabrice LeRouge/Getty ImagesThe 8-year-old's behavior and daily routines are shaped by the child's taste, interests, and personality. Parents and other significant adults in the child's life should keep in mind the importance of being good role models since this is a time when children are figuring out the world and who they are and how they fit into it. At this age, your child may get involved with more complex social activities and behaviors that help define his or her sense of self.Effective discipline techniques at this age include continuing to praise good behavior, focusing your child's efforts, what they can do and change, rather than innate traits (such as ""you are smart""). Set up and enforce consistent rules. Discipline should be aimed at guiding your child rather than punishing. Follow it with a discussion with your child about what she could do differently next time.Your 8-year-old can do more self-care in regards to hygiene and may begin to want to be part of deciding what the family eats. You might begin to give your child chores to contribute to the maintenance of the household and an allowance to begin to learn to manage money. At this age, your child still needs 10 to 11 hours of sleep per night.2 Physical DevelopmentImage Source/Getty ImagesFor 8-year-old children, physical development will continue to be more about refinement of skills, coordination, and muscle control rather than huge changes. They begin to look like ""big kids,"" but puberty is still a couple of years away for most of them.Children with natural athletic potential may show their abilities at this developmental stage as their physical skills become more precise and accurate. In fact, this is often the age at which children decide whether they are athletic or not, and choose to participate in or avoid sports. Either way, it's important for parents to encourage physical activity. Even if your child isn't an athlete she can still enjoy running, swimming, biking, and many other types of non-sports-related physical fun.3 Emotional DevelopmentJohn Howard/Getty ImagesEight-year-old emotional development may be growing at a deeper level than in younger years, and an 8-year-old may show more sophisticated and complex emotions and interactions. For instance, an 8-year-old may mask true thoughts or emotions to spare someone else's feelings or work through a problem without an adult's close supervision or intervention.This is the time when your child may be developing a more sophisticated sense of himself in the world. Her interests, talents, friends, and relationship with family all help her to establish a clear self-identity. It's also the beginning of desiring privacy and flip-flopping between self-confidence and self-doubt.It can be a good time to help your child develop patience and empathy for others.4 Cognitive DevelopmentTom Merton/Getty ImagesEight-year-old children are at a stage of intellectual development where they will be able to pay attention for longer periods of time. You can expect your child to be able to concentrate on an activity for up to an hour or more. Eight-year-olds will also be able to think more critically and express opinions using more complex and sophisticated vocabulary and language skills.5 Social DevelopmentChristopher Futcher/Getty ImagesThis is the phase of social development where many children love being a part of sports teams and other social groups. In general, 8-year-old children enjoy school and will count on and value relationships with a few close friends and classmates. Parents of 8-year-olds should be on the lookout for problems such as school refusal, as this may indicate learning difficulties or being bullied at school. It is also a good age at which to discuss respecting others.6 What If My Child Is Different?Developmental milestones provide professionals and parents with a tool for comparing children to a norm. No child fits the ideal norm perfectly, and each child will have his or her personal quirks, strengths, challenges, and preferences. With that said, however, if you feel your child is far behind or ahead of the norm, it's well worth discussing the issue with your pediatrician and your child's teacher. If there are issues or opportunities, now is the time to learn about and address them.A Word From VerywellYour 8-year-old is in the full bloom of childhood. Enjoy activities and explore the world together. It's a great time to spark new interests in your child and watch her grow in every way.Sources:Anthony, Michelle.

In other words people can leverage the connection between the query and the 10 Bing passages in the original dataset and could be used to promote those passages or mine them for query expansion terms (relevance feedback). To prevent confusion of model performance we as any team that uses any signals from the initial dataset to describe what they used and we will mark the run as special. In addition, if you use any outside signal(or internal signal) that you think we should know and make know to the larger community please include a description in your submision. ### Submissions Once you have built a model that meets your expectations on evaluation with the dev set, you can submit your test results to get official evaluation on the test set. To ensure the integrity of the official test results, we do not release the correct answers for test set to the public. To submit your model for official evaluation on the test set, follow the below steps: Generate your proposed reranking for the Top1000 passages for the Eval and the Dev set.
