-MTEB was introduced in "[MTEB: Massive Text Embedding Benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.07316)", and heavily expanded in "[MMTEB: Massive Multilingual Text Embedding Benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.13595)". When using `mteb`, we recommend that you cite both articles.

-If you use any of the specific benchmarks, we also recommend that you cite the authors.
-
-```py
-benchmark = mteb.get_benchmark("MTEB(eng, v2)")
-benchmark.citation # get citation for a specific benchmark
-
-# you can also create a table of the task for the appendix using:
-benchmark.tasks.to_latex()
