The initial query set gets filtered to remove queries that are rarely triggered, contain personally identifiable information, offensive content, adult content and those having no click connection to the ClueWeb22 document set. The resulting set includes queries triggered by many users, which reflects the real query distribution of a commercial web search engine. The queries are split into train and test sets based on time, which is similar to real-world web scenarios training an embedding model using past data and serving future incoming web pages and queries. We sample around 10 million query-document pairs from the train set and 10 thousand query-document pairs from the test set. The documents in the query-document train and test sets are then merged into the 100 million train document set and test document set respectively (shown in right part of figure 1). To enable quality verification of the model during training, we split a dev query-document set from the train query-document set. Since the train and dev sets share the same document set, the dev set can be used to quickly verify the training correctness and model quality during training. For the 10B dataset, we use the same train, dev, and test queries but sample more query-document pairs. Authors:
