# ConTEB - NarrativeQA |
|
|
|
This dataset is part of *ConTEB* (Context-aware Text Embedding Benchmark), designed for evaluating contextual embedding model capabilities. It stems from the widely used [NarrativeQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/deepmind/narrativeqa) dataset. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
NarrativeQA (literature), consists of long documents, associated to existing sets of question-answer pairs. To build the corpus, we start from the pre-existing collection documents, extract the text, and chunk them (using [LangChain](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain)'s RecursiveCharacterSplitter with a threshold of 1000 characters). Since chunking is done a posteriori without considering the questions, chunks are not always self-contained and eliciting document-wide context can help build meaningful representations. We use GPT-4o to annotate which chunk, among the gold document, best contains information needed to answer the query. |
|
|
|
This dataset provides a focused benchmark for contextualized embeddings. It includes a set of original documents, chunks stemming from them, and queries. |
|
|
|
* **Number of Documents:** 355 |
|
* **Number of Chunks:** 1750 |
|
* **Number of Queries:** 8575 |
|
* **Average Number of Tokens per Chunk:** 151.9 |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure (Hugging Face Datasets) |
|
The dataset is structured into the following columns: |
|
|
|
* **`documents`**: Contains chunk information: |
|
* `"chunk_id"`: The ID of the chunk, of the form `doc-id_chunk-id`, where `doc-id` is the ID of the original document and `chunk-id` is the position of the chunk within that document. |
|
* `"chunk"`: The text of the chunk |
|
* **`queries`**: Contains query information: |
|
* `"query"`: The text of the query. |
|
* `"answer"`: The answer relevant to the query, from the original dataset. |
|
* `"chunk_id"`: The ID of the chunk that the query is related to, of the form `doc-id_chunk-id`, where `doc-id` is the ID of the original document and `chunk-id` is the position of the chunk within that document. |

|
## Usage |
|
|
|
Use the `train` split for training, and the `test` split for evaluation. |
