Position-Bias Training Datasets (main 4 distributions)
Synthetic retrieval training data used to induce/control position bias in embedding models, restricted to the four main evidence-position distributions used in the paper. Filtered at reranker threshold t030 (signal_gap ≥ 0.30, highest label purity).
Each example is a (question, positive_doc) pair. The distributions differ only in where
the relevant evidence sits inside the positive document (beginning / middle / end),
mixed at the ratios below.
Configs (evidence-position distribution)
| config | ratio (begin/middle/end) | evidence location | records |
|---|---|---|---|
begin |
100 / 0 / 0 | evidence at document beginning | 40,915 |
middle |
0 / 100 / 0 | evidence in document middle | 40,915 |
end |
0 / 0 / 100 | evidence at document end | 40,915 |
uniform |
33.3 / 33.3 / 33.3 | evidence uniformly across positions | 40,915 |
Schema
question(string): synthetic query (apply the model's query prompt at encoding time).positive_doc(string): the relevant document containing the evidence.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("sionic-ai/position-bias-training-datasets", "begin", split="train")
Provenance
Subset of the private dataset sionic-ai/position-bias-train-030 (13 distributions);
this repo keeps only the 4 main distributions with semantic config names
(begin=100_0_0, middle=0_100_0, end=0_0_100, uniform=33_33_33).
