TempBench Builder
==========================
Constructs a 10K-question multi-hop temporal QA benchmark (see the TempBench paper).
Implements the full 6-stage pipeline:
1. Question generation from KG triples and templates
2. Composability filtering (validate temporal consistency)
3. Answer uniqueness filtering (discard ambiguous questions)
4. MinHash deduplication (Jaccard similarity threshold)
5. Subgraph construction (S_star, S_dist, S_stale)
6. Train/dev/test split (stratified by complexity)
Output: JSONL benchmark with one question per line, including supporting subgraphs.
Usage:
python build_benchmark.py --kg_path kg.json --output_dir ./benchmark/ --target_n 10000
