The QNLI (Question-answering NLI) dataset is a Natural Language Inference dataset automatically derived from the Stanford Question Answering Dataset v1.1 (SQuAD). SQuAD v1.1 consists of question-paragraph pairs, where one of the sentences in the paragraph (drawn from Wikipedia) contains the answer to the corresponding question (written by an annotator). The dataset was converted into sentence pair classification by forming a pair between each question and each sentence in the corresponding context, and filtering out pairs with low lexical overlap between the question and the context sentence. The task is to determine whether the context sentence contains the answer to the question. This modified version of the original task removes the requirement that the model select the exact answer, but also removes the simplifying assumptions that the answer is always present in the input and that lexical overlap is a reliable cue. The QNLI dataset is part of GLUE benchmark.

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.

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

The Winograd Schema Challenge was introduced both as an alternative to the Turing Test and as a test of a system’s ability to do commonsense reasoning. A Winograd schema is a pair of sentences differing in one or two words with a highly ambiguous pronoun, resolved differently in the two sentences, that appears to require commonsense knowledge to be resolved correctly. The examples were designed to be easily solvable by humans but difficult for machines, in principle requiring a deep understanding of the content of the text and the situation it describes.

The Schema-Guided Dialogue (SGD) dataset consists of over 20k annotated multi-domain, task-oriented conversations between a human and a virtual assistant. These conversations involve interactions with services and APIs spanning 20 domains, ranging from banks and events to media, calendar, travel, and weather. For most of these domains, the dataset contains multiple different APIs, many of which have overlapping functionalities but different interfaces, which reflects common real-world scenarios. The wide range of available annotations can be used for intent prediction, slot filling, dialogue state tracking, policy imitation learning, language generation, user simulation learning, among other tasks in large-scale virtual assistants. Besides these, the dataset has unseen domains and services in the evaluation set to quantify the performance in zero-shot or few shot settings.

WiC is a benchmark for the evaluation of context-sensitive word embeddings. WiC is framed as a binary classification task. Each instance in WiC has a target word w, either a verb or a noun, for which two contexts are provided. Each of these contexts triggers a specific meaning of w. The task is to identify if the occurrences of w in the two contexts correspond to the same meaning or not. In fact, the dataset can also be viewed as an application of Word Sense Disambiguation in practise.

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

ROCStories is a collection of commonsense short stories. The corpus consists of 100,000 five-sentence stories. Each story logically follows everyday topics created by Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. These stories contain a variety of commonsense causal and temporal relations between everyday events. Writers also develop an additional 3,742 Story Cloze Test stories which contain a four-sentence-long body and two candidate endings. The endings were collected by asking Mechanical Turk workers to write both a right ending and a wrong ending after eliminating original endings of given short stories. Both endings were required to make logical sense and include at least one character from the main story line. The published ROCStories dataset is constructed with ROCStories as a training set that includes 98,162 stories that exclude candidate wrong endings, an evaluation set, and a test set, which have the same structure (1 body + 2 candidate endings) and a size of 1,871.
