Overview of BRIGHT benchmark

📢 Updates

  • 2024-07-15: We released our paper, code, and data. Check it out!

💾 Installation

In your local machine, we recommend to first create a virtual environment:

conda create -n bright python=3.10
conda activate bright
git clone https://github.com/xlang-ai/BRIGHT
cd BRIGHT
pip install -r requirements.txt

That will create the environment bright with all the required packages installed.

🤗 Data

BRIGHT comprises 12 diverse datasets, spanning biology, economics, robotics, math, code and more. The queries can be long StackExchange posts, math or code question. The documents can be blogs, news, articles, reports, etc. See Huggingface page for more details.

📊 Evaluation

We evaluate 13 representative retrieval models of diverse sizes and architectures. Run the following command to get results:

python run.py --task {task} --model {model}
  • --task: the task/dataset to evaluate. It can take one of biology,earth_science,economics,psychology,robotics,stackoverflow,sustainable_living,leetcode,pony,aops,theoremqa,
  • --model: the model to evaluate. Current implementation supports bm25,cohere,e5,google,grit,inst-l,inst-xl,openai,qwen,sbert,sf,voyage and bge.
    Optional:
  • --long_context: whether to evaluate on the long-context setting, default to False
  • --query_max_length: the maximum length for the query
  • --doc_max_length: the maximum length for the document
  • --encode_batch_size: the encoding batch size
  • --output_dir: the directory to output results
  • --cache_dir: the directory to cache document embeddings
  • --config_dir: the directory of instruction configurations
  • -checkpoint: the specific checkpoint to use
  • --key: key for proprietary models
  • --debug: whether to turn on the debug mode and load only a few documents

🔍 Add custom model?

It is very easy to add evaluate custom models on BRIGHT. Just implement the following function in retrievers.py and add it to the mapping RETRIEVAL_FUNCS:

def retrieval_model_function_name(queries,query_ids,documents,doc_ids,excluded_ids,**kwargs):
    ...
    return scores

where scores is in the format:

{
  "query_id_1": {
    "doc_id_1": score_1,
    "doc_id_2": score_2,
    ...
    "doc_id_n": socre_n
  },
  ...
  "query_id_m": {
    "doc_id_1": score_1,
    "doc_id_2": score_2,
    ...
    "doc_id_n": socre_n
  }
}
