AILAStatutes — RTEB open subset, unified schema

A normalised copy of the dataset behind the mteb task AILAStatutes, one of the 17 open tasks in the RTEB(beta) retrieval benchmark. Same queries, documents and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by all 17.

Source	mteb/AILA_statutes @ ebfcd844eadd (the revision pinned in mteb)
Domain · languages	legal · eng
Queries / documents / qrels	50 / 82 / 217
Qrels per query	min 2 · mean 4.34 · max 5
Score values	1 ×217
Layout	queries · corpus · qrels, split test
License	cc-by-4.0

Schema

config	columns	rules
queries	id: string, text: string	ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel
corpus	id: string, title: string, text: string	title is always present ("" when the source has none)
qrels	query-id: string, corpus-id: string, score: int32	referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats

Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator before publishing; provenance.json records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.

What changed from the source

• cast qrels.score double -> int32
• removed NUL bytes from text (prose dataset)
• renamed _id → id
• renamed source splits (queries←queries/queries, corpus←corpus/corpus, qrels←default/test) to test
