This will lead to language bias on data and models. ClueWeb22 [9] demonstrates that there also exists topic distribution skew in the web scenario. Therefore, domain bias also may happen in data and models. To protect user privacy and content health, we remove queries that are rarely triggered (triggered by less than K users, where K is a high value), contain personally identifiable information, offensive content, adult content and queries that have no click connection to the ClueWeb22 document set. As a result, the query distribution is slightly different from the real web query distribution. Authors:
