Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

The (20) QA bAbI tasks are a set of proxy tasks that evaluate reading comprehension via question answering. Our tasks measure understanding in several ways: whether a system is able to answer questions via chaining facts, simple induction, deduction and many more. The tasks are designed to be prerequisites for any system that aims to be capable of conversing with a human. The aim is to classify these tasks into skill sets,so that researchers can identify (and then rectify) the failings of their systems.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset supports a set of 20 proxy story-based question answering tasks for various "types" in English and Hindi. The tasks are:

task_no task_name
qa1 single-supporting-fact
qa2 two-supporting-facts
qa3 three-supporting-facts
qa4 two-arg-relations
qa5 three-arg-relations
qa6 yes-no-questions
qa7 counting
qa8 lists-sets
qa9 simple-negation
qa10 indefinite-knowledge
qa11 basic-coreference
qa12 conjunction
qa13 compound-coreference
qa14 time-reasoning
qa15 basic-deduction
qa16 basic-induction
qa17 positional-reasoning
qa18 size-reasoning
qa19 path-finding
qa20 agents-motivations

The "types" are are:

  • en

    • the tasks in English, readable by humans.

  • hn

    • the tasks in Hindi, readable by humans.

  • shuffled

    • the same tasks with shuffled letters so they are not readable by humans, and for existing parsers and taggers cannot be used in a straight-forward fashion to leverage extra resources-- in this case the learner is more forced to rely on the given training data. This mimics a learner being first presented a language and having to learn from scratch.

  • en-10k, shuffled-10k and hn-10k

    • the same tasks in the three formats, but with 10,000 training examples, rather than 1000 training examples.

  • en-valid and en-valid-10k

    • are the same as en and en10k except the train sets have been conveniently split into train and valid portions (90% and 10% split).

To get a particular dataset, use load_dataset('babi_qa',type=f'{type}',task_no=f'{task_no}') where type is one of the types, and task_no is one of the task numbers. For example, load_dataset('babi_qa', type='en', task_no='qa1').

Data Instances

An instance from the en-qa1 config's train split:

{'story': {'answer': ['', '', 'bathroom', '', '', 'hallway', '', '', 'hallway', '', '', 'office', '', '', 'bathroom'], 'id': ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12', '13', '14', '15'], 'supporting_ids': [[], [], ['1'], [], [], ['4'], [], [], ['4'], [], [], ['11'], [], [], ['8']], 'text': ['Mary moved to the bathroom.', 'John went to the hallway.', 'Where is Mary?', 'Daniel went back to the hallway.', 'Sandra moved to the garden.', 'Where is Daniel?', 'John moved to the office.', 'Sandra journeyed to the bathroom.', 'Where is Daniel?', 'Mary moved to the hallway.', 'Daniel travelled to the office.', 'Where is Daniel?', 'John went back to the garden.', 'John moved to the bedroom.', 'Where is Sandra?'], 'type': [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1]}}

Data Fields

  • story: a dictionary feature containing:
    • id: a string feature, which denotes the line number in the example.
    • type: a classification label, with possible values including context, question, denoting whether the text is context or a question.
    • text: a string feature the text present, whether it is a question or context.
    • supporting_ids: a list of string features containing the line numbers of the lines in the example which support the answer.
    • answer: a string feature containing the answer to the question, or an empty string if the types is not question.
