GerLayQA — Training, unified schema

A seeded sample of ViolaCamille/GerLayQA, made into retrieval training pairs and reshaped into the strict schema shared by every dataset in this collection. One of the 15 domain sources (code, medical, science, finance, legal) added to the collection's general sources.

Splits	corpus: train · hard-negatives: train · qrels: train · queries: train · teacher-scores: train
Hard negatives	sources: dense · 2,370,498 rows
Teacher scores	none yet (0 rows): jinaai/jina-reranker-v3.5 scores come next

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
hard-negatives	query-id: string, corpus-id: string, rank: int32, source: string	one row per negative; (query-id, corpus-id, source) unique; never a labelled positive of the same query
teacher-scores	query-id: string, corpus-id: string, teacher: string, score: float32	one row per scored pair (positives included); a row means scored — never a placeholder

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

What changed from the source

• sampled: a seeded random sample (seed 1) of up to 25,000 pairs
• reshaped: the layperson's question (at most 2,000 characters) is the query, the lawyer's answer (at least 40 characters) the document; configs german_laymen_bgb_qa, _stgb_qa, _zpo_qa
• decontaminated (exact): a pair was dropped when its normalised query equals any evaluation query, or a positive equals a document of a test or dev corpus; a repeated query keeps its first pair
• decontaminated (near-duplicates): 0 passages and 0 queries that nearly copy a text of an evaluation set (word 13-grams for passages, 8-grams for queries; at least half shared with one text of the 23 test corpora (BEIR, RTEB, LitSearch) and the 3 dev corpora) were removed, and with them 0 queries in total
• text: leading and trailing whitespace stripped; otherwise as converted above
• ids re-keyed to sha1(text)[:20]: 0 documents and 0 queries collapsed into identical texts
• added a title column filled with "" (the source has none)

Hard negatives and teacher scores

Filled by the collection's annotation pipeline (annotation=jina35). Interim: the candidates are final, the teacher scores are still to come.

• Candidates: dense retrieval with jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-small over this corpus to depth 1,000; 100 candidates per query drawn from the rank windows 1–30 (30), 31–100 (30), 101–300 (20), 301–1000 (20), the query's labelled positives excluded. rank is the dense rank; source is dense for a mined row and dataset for a negative the source labels itself.
• Teacher scores: none yet. teacher-scores holds 0 rows until the jinaai/jina-reranker-v3.5 scores (listwise, as in the other repositories) are filled in; datasets cannot return a 0-example split, so read that file with pyarrow / pandas meanwhile. The candidates stay.
