About CompMix

CompMix is a benchmark for evaluating question answering (QA) methods that operate over a mixture of heterogeneous input sources: knowledge bases (Wikidata), free text (Wikipedia), tables, and infoboxes. It consists of 9,410 questions (4,966 train, 1,680 dev, 2,764 test) derived from conversational questions in ConvMix. The questions exhibit complex phenomena such as multiple entities, relations, temporal conditions, comparisons, and aggregations. Answers are grounded to the Wikidata KB, with normalization for dates and other literals. The dataset was created by master crowdworkers on Amazon Mechanical Turk, who selected entities of interest and wrote conversational questions, then provided completed intent-explicit versions. CompMix is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 and is available on Hugging Face. It includes a leaderboard for model comparison.

FAQ

How was CompMix created?
CompMix collates completed versions of conversational questions from ConvMix. Crowdworkers on Amazon Mechanical Turk selected entities and wrote conversational questions, then provided completed intent-explicit versions. Answers were found in Wikidata, Wikipedia text, tables, or infoboxes.
What types of questions are in CompMix?
Questions exhibit complex phenomena like multiple entities, relations, temporal conditions, comparisons, and aggregations.
What is the size of the dataset?
The dataset has 9,410 questions split into train (4,966), dev (1,680), and test (2,764) sets.
How are answers provided?
All answers are grounded to the Wikidata KB, except for dates which are normalized and other literals like names.
Is the dataset publicly available?
Yes, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. It is also available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/datasets/pchristm/CompMix.
