11. Gap Analysis & Priorities

11.1 Dataset Availability by MTEB Category

MTEB Task Available Count Quality Status Priority
Classification 25+ High ✅ Excellent Low
Pair Classification 5+ Medium ✅ Good Low
Retrieval 7+ High ✅ Good Low
Summarization 4+ Medium ✅ Good Low
Instruction Following 2+ Emerging 🆕 Emerging Medium
STS 3 limited Low ⚠️ Limited HIGH
Clustering 0 None ❌ Missing CRITICAL
Reranking 0 None ❌ Missing CRITICAL

11.2 Priority: Missing Datasets

Critical Gaps

The following MTEB task categories have no Indonesian datasets:

1. Clustering (0 datasets) - CRITICAL

Recommended Actions: - Translate reddit-clustering from MTEB - Translate stackexchange-clustering from MTEB - Create Indonesian social media clustering dataset - Create Indonesian news clustering dataset

2. Reranking (0 datasets) - CRITICAL

Recommended Actions: - Translate msmarco-reranking from MTEB - Create Indonesian search reranking dataset - Leverage existing IndoNLU datasets for reranking task conversion

3. STS (3 limited) - HIGH

Recommended Actions: - Translate stsbenchmark-sts from MTEB - Translate sickr-sts from MTEB - Create Indonesian STS with multiple domains - Target: 5,000+ sentence pairs with human-annotated scores


11.3 Data Sources for Translation

High-Priority MTEB Datasets to Translate:

Task MTEB Dataset Reason Size
Clustering reddit-clustering Community structure 1M+ posts
Clustering stackexchange-clustering Question clustering 200K+
STS stsbenchmark-sts Gold standard STS 8,628 pairs
STS sickr-sts Image caption STS 4,500 pairs
Reranking msmarco-reranking Web search reranking 30K pairs
