## The TOMT-KIS-TRIPLETS (tip-of-my-tongue-known-item-search triplets) Dataset

**TOMT-KIS-TRIPLETS** is a refined subset of the broader [TOMT-KIS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/webis/tip-of-my-tongue-known-item-search/) dataset, curated for advanced applications. Given that Wikipedia and IMDb are besides YouTube the most commonly appearing domains in links on the answer path (also see in TOMT-KIS the column `links_on_answer_path`), we focus specifically on these sources for higher relevancy and usability. By leveraging a Wikipedia dump and  [SPARQL Wikipedia Query Service](https://query.wikidata.org), our objective is to develop a labeled dataset that contains direct links to relevant Wikipedia articles, making it ideal for supervised learning tasks.

## Use of TOMT-KIS-TRIPLETS

You can download our full dataset using the `datasets` library.

```
from datasets import load_dataset
tomt_kis_triplets = load_dataset("webis/tip-of-my-tongue-known-item-search-triplets")
```

To see the size of the dataset execute

```
len(tomt_kis_triplets['train'])
```

You can access the first respectively last row in TOMT-KIS using

```
# Get the first row in the dataset
tomt_kis_triplets['train'][0]


# Get the last row in the dataset
tomt_kis_triplets['train'][-1]
```

... and a specific column:

```
# Returns a list of all the values in the the title column
tomt_kis_triplets['train']['title']

# Returns the title of the first column
tomt_kis_triplets['train'][0]['title']
```

Iterate over the TOMT-KIS dataset:

```
for element in tomt_kis_triplets['train']:
    print(element)
```

## Dataset Structure

Our TOMT-KIS-TRIPLETS dataset is available in JSONL format. 
Important to mention is that the `qid` is identical to `id` in [TOMT-KIS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/webis/tip-of-my-tongue-known-item-search/) and therefore the last mentioned can be joined easily in order to access all of its 128 attributes.

The film was conceived by Jonathan Frank and Nick Rowntree while at the University of Teesside with Mann. The script was written by Gary Young, Jonathan Frank, and Nick Rowntree.\n\nThe Tournament was partially filmed in Bulgaria, and numerous locations around Northern England (where the film is set) and Merseyside. The film stars Robert Carlyle, Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu, Sébastien Foucan, Liam Cunningham, Scott Adkins, Camilla Power, and Ian Somerhalder. The film received additional funding internationally, from Sherezade Film Development, Storitel Production, and others, earning the film a budget of just under £4,000,000. The film also features a renowned international ensemble cast.\n\nHowever, numerous problems involving production, finance (the budget ran out twice), and securing a distributor meant the film was not released until two years after filming, in late 2009.\n\nPlot\nA group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men, involved with law enforcement agencies and criminal underworlds alike, control the international media with their billions. They devise the ultimate entertainment, known as \"The Tournament\", which takes place every seven or ten years in an unspecified large city.\n\n\"Contestants\" volunteer for this event, often the toughest or craziest individuals on the planet. The last surviving combatant wins a cash prize of $10 million. The tournament organizers not only view this as entertainment but also wager high stakes on the outcome, creating a major gambling tournament.\n\nCombatants are selected from the world's special forces, serial killers, athletes, trained contract killers, and assassins.

Magnus Hammersmith and the Metal Masked Assassin hold Toki Wartooth and Abigail Remeltindrinc prisoner to lure Dethklok into their trap (\"Magnus and the Assassin\").

### Data Fields

The TOMT-KIS-TRIPLETS dataset includes the following key columns:

- `qid` (string): Query ID from Reddit. Identical to `id` in [TOMT-KIS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/webis/tip-of-my-tongue-known-item-search/).
- `query` (string): The full Reddit question, combining the Title with the Content, separated by '\n\n'. Note that the selected Reddit answer is excluded from this field.
- `docno_positive` (int): Document ID of the positive document within the Wikipedia dump, associated with the query.
- `url_wikipedia_positive` (string): Wikipedia URL of the positive document linked to the query.
- `positive` (string): The content of the Wikipedia article serving as the positive document for the query.
- `negative` (string): The content of the Wikipedia article serving as the negative document for the query.
- `docno_negative` (int): Document ID for the negative document within the [TREC-ToT 2024](https://trec-tot.github.io) corpus.

### Data processing steps

Our target is to provide a dataset with a labeled Wikipedia URL per solved question. We filter our TOMT-KIS dataset for questions with a `chosen_answer` that includes links to Wikipedia or IMDb. Since the `chosen_answer` links aren’t explicitly provided, we first extract URLs from the chosen answers. Then, we filter these URLs to include only those with Wikipedia or IMDb as the domain. Canonicalization of URLs is performed to ensure consistency and accurate matching across sources.
We used the [SPARQL](https://query.wikidata.org) service to retrieve the corresponding `wikidata_url`s for each IMDb URL we extracted during this process in the chosen answer to a question.
The filtered dataset includes 32,553 Reddit questions with a Wikipedia link, successfully matched to the Wikipedia dump.

In order to ensure training data without bias, we remove all entries from TOMT-KIS-Triplet that either
    a) contain a `url_wikipedia_positive` of the positive document of an entry that occurs or
    b) contain a `docno_negative` of the negative document of an entry
that occurs in on of the qrels files from TREC-ToT 2024.

- `negative_trec_tot_2024_id` can directly be used to filter out the corresponding entries. This way, 240 entries where filtered out of our dataset.
- As TREC-ToT 2024 only contains `wikidata_id`s of each document, we first need to use [SPARQL](https://query.wikidata.org) in order to retrieve the corresponding `wikidata_url`s for each `wikidata_id` in each `qrels`s file before filtering. This way, 58 entries where filtered out of our dataset.
- In total, TOMT-KIS-Triplet contains 32,553 entries.
