Dataset Card for KILT

Dataset Summary

KILT has been built from 11 datasets representing 5 types of tasks:

• Fact-checking
• Entity linking
• Slot filling
• Open domain QA
• Dialog generation

All these datasets have been grounded in a single pre-processed Wikipedia dump, allowing for fairer and more consistent evaluation as well as enabling new task setups such as multitask and transfer learning with minimal effort. KILT also provides tools to analyze and understand the predictions made by models, as well as the evidence they provide for their predictions.

Loading the KILT knowledge source and task data

The original KILT release only provides question IDs for the TriviaQA task. Using the full dataset requires mapping those back to the TriviaQA questions, which can be done as follows:

from datasets import load_dataset

# Get the pre-processed Wikipedia knowledge source for kild
kilt_wiki = load_dataset("kilt_wikipedia")

# Get the KILT task datasets
kilt_triviaqa = load_dataset("kilt_tasks", name="triviaqa_support_only")

# Most tasks in KILT already have all required data, but KILT-TriviaQA
# only provides the question IDs, not the questions themselves.
# Thankfully, we can get the original TriviaQA data with:
trivia_qa = load_dataset('trivia_qa', 'unfiltered.nocontext')

# The KILT IDs can then be mapped to the TriviaQA questions with:
triviaqa_map = {}

def add_missing_data(x, trivia_qa_subset, triviaqa_map):
    i = triviaqa_map[x['id']]
    x['input'] = trivia_qa_subset[i]['question']
    x['output']['original_answer'] = trivia_qa_subset[i]['answer']['value']
    return x
    
for k in ['train', 'validation', 'test']:
    triviaqa_map = dict([(q_id, i) for i, q_id in enumerate(trivia_qa[k]['question_id'])])
    kilt_triviaqa[k] = kilt_triviaqa[k].filter(lambda x: x['id'] in triviaqa_map)
    kilt_triviaqa[k] = kilt_triviaqa[k].map(add_missing_data, fn_kwargs=dict(trivia_qa_subset=trivia_qa[k], triviaqa_map=triviaqa_map))

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset supports a leaderboard that evaluates models against task-specific metrics such as F1 or EM, as well as their ability to retrieve supporting information from Wikipedia.

The current best performing models can be found here.

Languages

All tasks are in English (en).
