+## How to evaluate on this task
+
+You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:
+
+```python
+import mteb
+
+task = mteb.get_task("WebFAQRetrieval")
+evaluator = mteb.MTEB([task])
+
+model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
+evaluator.run(model)
+```
+
+<!-- Datasets want link to arxiv in readme to autolink dataset with paper -->
+To learn more about how to run models on `mteb` task check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb).
+
+## Citation
+
+If you use this dataset, please cite the dataset as well as [mteb](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb), as this dataset likely includes additional processing as a part of the [MMTEB Contribution](https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb/tree/main/docs/mmteb).
