 ## Performance
 
-In the following table we provide the nDCG@10 scores for the cohere multilingual-22-12 model in comparison to BM25 lexical search and mDPR (as provided in the [MIRACL paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09984))

+In the following table we compare the cohere multilingual-22-12 model with Elasticsearch version 8.6.0 lexical search (title and passage indexed as independent fields). Note that Elasticsearch doesn't support all languages that are part of the MIRACL dataset.
+
+
+We compute nDCG@10 (a ranking based loss), as well as hit@3: Is at least one relevant document in the top-3 results. We find that hit@3 is easier to interpret, as it presents the number of queries for which a relevant document is found among the top-3 results.
+
+Note: MIRACL only annotated a small fraction  of passages (10 per query) for relevancy. Especially for larger Wikipedias (like English), we often found many more relevant passages. This is know as annotation holes. Real nDCG@10 and hit@3 performance is likely higher than depicted.
