This pull request adds multilingual NanoBEIREvaluator and SparseNanoBEIREvaluator support for: Arabic (ar), German (de), English (en), Spanish (es), French (fr), Italian (it), Norwegian (no), Portuguese (pt), and Swedish (sv). It preserves English as default, adds a validator for the added language argument and a test for invalid languages.
The solution is based on the lightonai/nanobeir-multilingual dataset, which is based on the original NanoBEIR collection.
The code style was kept similar to that of the existing NanoBEIREvaluator.py file:
All tests in the evaluation folder are passing (with the exception of one skip)
Hope you find this PR helpful and can merge it for multilingual support of NanoBEIREvaluator and SparseNanoBEIREvaluator, this would be helpful to test/benchmark retrievers quickly in other languages!
Available for any comments/improvements.
Best regards,
Afonso
