# Embed Nemotron Dataset V1

## Versions

| Date        | Commit       | Changes  |
|-------------|--------------|----------|
| **2026-01-05**  | [8808454](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/embed-nemotron-dataset-v1/tree/880845412bbb3c160940666a4532c6ee9d50f41d) | Initial Release |

## Dataset Description

This dataset is a compilation of high quality fine-tuning datasets that support NVIDIA's release of [llama-embed-nemotron-8b](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/llama-embed-nemotron-8b) model.

[llama-embed-nemotron-8b](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/llama-embed-nemotron-8b) is a versatile text embedding model trained by NVIDIA and optimized for retrieval, reranking, semantic similarity, and classification use cases. This model has robust capabilities for multilingual and cross-lingual text retrieval and is designed to serve as a foundational component in text-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. This model achieves state-of-the-art performance on the multilingual [MTEB](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) leaderboard as of October 21, 2025.

`embed-nemotron-dataset-v1` is a selected subset of the fine-tuning data used for training the [llama-embed-nemotron-8b](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/llama-embed-nemotron-8b) model. This data mix is intentionally curated from a variety of sources to ensure robustness and high performance across a broad range of tasks. It comprises both non-synthetic data drawn from established public datasets like MIRACL, HotpotQA, MS MARCO etc.; and synthetic data specifically generated to enhance diversity in task types (for example, classification). Each dataset is additionally transformed with a sophisticated hard negative mining process to maximize the learning signal. Read more details in our technical report: [Llama-Embed-Nemotron-8B: A Universal Text Embedding Model for Multilingual and Cross-Lingual Tasks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.07025).

In the table below, you can see all the subdatasets that we are publishing, with their details. In some cases, the data is redistributed directly. For the remaining ones, we only provide IDs of the queries and documents. In the latter case, we provide [python data processing script](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Automodel/blob/main/examples/biencoder/llama_embed_nemotron_8b/data_preparation.py) to fetch original texts given provided IDs.

This dataset is for research and development only.
