SQuAD (Stanford Question Answering Dataset)

The Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) is a collection of question-answer pairs derived from Wikipedia articles. In SQuAD, the correct answers of questions can be any sequence of tokens in the given text. Because the questions and answers are produced by humans through crowdsourcing, it is more diverse than some other question-answering datasets. SQuAD 1.1 contains 107,785 question-answer pairs on 536 articles. SQuAD2.0 (open-domain SQuAD, SQuAD-Open), the latest version, combines the 100,000 questions in SQuAD1.1 with over 50,000 un-answerable questions written adversarially by crowdworkers in forms that are similar to the answerable ones.

MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding)

MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) is a new benchmark designed to measure knowledge acquired during pretraining by evaluating models exclusively in zero-shot and few-shot settings. This makes the benchmark more challenging and more similar to how we evaluate humans. The benchmark covers 57 subjects across STEM, the humanities, the social sciences, and more. It ranges in difficulty from an elementary level to an advanced professional level, and it tests both world knowledge and problem solving ability. Subjects range from traditional areas, such as mathematics and history, to more specialized areas like law and ethics. The granularity and breadth of the subjects makes the benchmark ideal for identifying a model’s blind spots.

Natural Questions

The Natural Questions corpus is a question answering dataset containing 307,373 training examples, 7,830 development examples, and 7,842 test examples. Each example is comprised of a google.com query and a corresponding Wikipedia page. Each Wikipedia page has a passage (or long answer) annotated on the page that answers the question and one or more short spans from the annotated passage containing the actual answer. The long and the short answer annotations can however be empty. If they are both empty, then there is no answer on the page at all. If the long answer annotation is non-empty, but the short answer annotation is empty, then the annotated passage answers the question but no explicit short answer could be found. Finally 1% of the documents have a passage annotated with a short answer that is “yes” or “no”, instead of a list of short spans.

TriviaQA dataset consists of both human-verified and machine-generated QA subsets.

In total this dataset contains 232,965 posts with an average degree of 492. The first 20 days are used for training and the remaining days for testing (with 30% used for validation). For features, off-the-shelf 300-dimensional GloVe CommonCrawl word vectors are used.

OpenBookQA (OBQA)

OpenBookQA is a new kind of question-answering dataset modeled after open book exams for assessing human understanding of a subject. It consists of 5,957 multiple-choice elementary-level science questions (4,957 train, 500 dev, 500 test), which probe the understanding of a small “book” of 1,326 core science facts and the application of these facts to novel situations. For training, the dataset includes a mapping from each question to the core science fact it was designed to probe. Answering OpenBookQA questions requires additional broad common knowledge, not contained in the book. The questions, by design, are answered incorrectly by both a retrieval-based algorithm and a word co-occurrence algorithm. Additionally, the dataset includes a collection of 5,167 crowd-sourced common knowledge facts, and an expanded version of the train/dev/test questions where each question is associated with its originating core fact, a human accuracy score, a clarity score, and an anonymized crowd-worker

CNN/Daily Mail

CNN/Daily Mail is a dataset for text summarization. Human generated abstractive summary bullets were generated from news stories in CNN and Daily Mail websites as questions (with one of the entities hidden), and stories as the corresponding passages from which the system is expected to answer the fill-in the-blank question. The authors released the scripts that crawl, extract and generate pairs of passages and questions from these websites.

Each question is associated with 4 candidate answers, one of which is correct. The data generation process of RACE differs from most machine reading comprehension datasets - instead of generating questions and answers by heuristics or crowd-sourcing, questions in RACE are specifically designed for testing human reading skills, and are created by domain experts.

DROP (Discrete Reasoning Over Paragraphs)

Discrete Reasoning Over Paragraphs DROP is a crowdsourced, adversarially-created, 96k-question benchmark, in which a system must resolve references in a question, perhaps to multiple input positions, and perform discrete operations over them (such as addition, counting, or sorting). These operations require a much more comprehensive understanding of the content of paragraphs than what was necessary for prior datasets. The questions consist of passages extracted from Wikipedia articles. The dataset is split into a training set of about 77,000 questions, a development set of around 9,500 questions and a hidden test set similar in size to the development set.

COPA consists of 1000 questions, split equally into development and test sets of 500 questions each. Each question is composed of a premise and two alternatives, where the task is to select the alternative that more plausibly has a causal relation with the premise. The correct alternative is randomized so that the expected performance of randomly guessing is 50%.

ScienceQA (Science Question Answering)

Science Question Answering (ScienceQA) is a new benchmark that consists of 21,208 multimodal multiple choice questions with diverse science topics and annotations of their answers with corresponding lectures and explanations. Out of the questions in ScienceQA, 10,332 (48.7%) have an image context, 10,220 (48.2%) have a text context, and 6,532 (30.8%) have both. Most questions are annotated with grounded lectures (83.9%) and detailed explanations (90.5%). The lecture and explanation provide general external knowledge and specific reasons, respectively, for arriving at the correct answer. To the best of our knowledge, ScienceQA is the first large-scale multimodal dataset that annotates lectures and explanations for the answers.

WikiQA (Wikipedia open-domain Question Answering)

The WikiQA corpus is a publicly available set of question and sentence pairs, collected and annotated for research on open-domain question answering. In order to reflect the true information need of general users, Bing query logs were used as the question source. Each question is linked to a Wikipedia page that potentially has the answer. Because the summary section of a Wikipedia page provides the basic and usually most important information about the topic, sentences in this section were used as the candidate answers. The corpus includes 3,047 questions and 29,258 sentences, where 1,473 sentences were labeled as answer sentences to their corresponding questions.

MultiRC (Multi-Sentence Reading Comprehension)

MultiRC (Multi-Sentence Reading Comprehension) is a dataset of short paragraphs and multi-sentence questions, i.e., questions that can be answered by combining information from multiple sentences of the paragraph. The dataset was designed with three key challenges in mind: * The number of correct answer-options for each question is not pre-specified. This removes the over-reliance on answer-options and forces them to decide on the correctness of each candidate answer independently of others. In other words, the task is not to simply identify the best answer-option, but to evaluate the correctness of each answer-option individually. * The correct answer(s) is not required to be a span in the text. * The paragraphs in the dataset have diverse provenance by being extracted from 7 different domains such as news, fiction, historical text etc., and hence are expected to be more diverse in their contents as compared to single-domain datasets. The entire corpus consists of around 10K questions

VisDial (Visual Dialog)

Visual Dialog (VisDial) dataset contains human annotated questions based on images of MS COCO dataset. This dataset was developed by pairing two subjects on Amazon Mechanical Turk to chat about an image. One person was assigned the job of a ‘questioner’ and the other person acted as an ‘answerer’. The questioner sees only the text description of an image (i.e., an image caption from MS COCO dataset) and the original image remains hidden to the questioner. Their task is to ask questions about this hidden image to “imagine the scene better”. The answerer sees the image, caption and answers the questions asked by the questioner. The two of them can continue the conversation by asking and answering questions for 10 rounds at max.
