<!-- **INQUIRE: A Natural World Text-to-Image Retrieval Benchmark** -->

INQUIRE is a text-to-image retrieval benchmark designed to challenge multimodal models with expert-level queries about the natural world.

This dataset aims to emulate real world image retrieval and analysis problems faced by scientists working with large-scale image collections.
Therefore, we hope that INQUIRE will both encourage and track advancements in the real scientific utility of AI systems.

**Dataset Details**

The **INQUIRE-Rerank** task fixes an initial ranking of 100 images per query, obtained using CLIP ViT-H-14 zero-shot retrieval on the entire 5 million image iNat24 dataset.
This fixed starting point makes reranking evaluation consistent, and saves time from running the initial retrieval yourself. If you're interested in full-dataset retrieval,
check out **INQUIRE-Fullrank**.
