It results from applying the following step on the field "query": * Replacing URIs with a simpler format with prefix "resource:", "property:" and "ontology:". * Spacing the delimiters `(`, `{`, `.`, `}`, `)`. * Randomizing the variables names * Shuffling the clauses #### New split "valid" A validation set was randonly extracted from the test set to represent 10% of the whole dataset. ### Languages - English ## Dataset Structure ### Types of questions Comparison of question types compared to related datasets: | | | [SimpleQuestions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OrangeInnov/simplequestions-sparqltotext) | [ParaQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OrangeInnov/paraqa-sparqltotext) | [LC-QuAD 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OrangeInnov/lcquad_2.0-sparqltotext) | [CSQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OrangeInnov/csqa-sparqltotext) | [WebNLQ-QA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OrangeInnov/webnlg-qa) | |--------------------------|-----------------|:---------------:|:------:|:-----------:|:----:|:---------:| | **Number of triplets in query** | 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | 2 | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | More | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | **Logical connector between triplets** | Conjunction | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Disjunction | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | | Exclusion | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | **Topology of the query graph** | Direct | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Sibling | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Chain | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Mixed | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | | Other | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | **Variable typing in the query** | None | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Target variable | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Internal variable | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | **Comparisons clauses** | None | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | String | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | | Number | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Date | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | **Superlative clauses** | No | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Yes | | | | ✓ | | | **Answer type** | Entity (open) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Entity (closed) | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | | Number | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Boolean | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | **Answer cardinality** | 0 (unanswerable) | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | | 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | More | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | **Number of target variables** | 0 (⇒ ASK verb) | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | 2 | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | **Dialogue context** | Self-sufficient | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Coreference | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | | Ellipsis | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | **Meaning** | Meaningful | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | | Non-sense | | | | | ✓ | ### Data splits Text verbalization is only available for a subset of the test set, referred to as *challenge set*.
