|
| LingLanMedBench is an expert-curated benchmark for evaluating large language models on Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge and clinical reasoning across five domains and 13 benchmark tasks. This repository distributes the labelled data; evaluation code is maintained in the [GitHub project](https://github.com/TCMAI-BJTU/LingLan). |
|
|
| The counts above treat each joint diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning case as one item. Its labels are stored in three files, giving **15 task configurations and 30 JSONL files**, with **29,620 Full and 6,000 Hard file rows**. Every record has `id`, `task`, and `answer`. |
|
|
| **Hard is a subset of Full, not an independent train/test partition.** Each Hard file contains 400 records with the same IDs and labels as Full. Do not concatenate the two sets as independent examples. |
|
|
| ## Load from Hugging Face |
|
|
| Install the dependencies: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| python -m pip install datasets |
| ``` |
|
|
| Load one task and one set: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| full = load_dataset("TCMLLM/LingLan", name="fundamental_tcm_knowledge_multiple_choice", split="fullset") |
| hard = load_dataset("TCMLLM/LingLan", name="fundamental_tcm_knowledge_multiple_choice", split="hardset") |
| print(len(full), len(hard)) # 1919, 400 |
| print(hard[0]["id"], hard[0]["answer"]) |
| ``` |
|
|
| The README YAML maps each task configuration to its two JSONL files. No custom dataset loading script or `trust_remote_code=True` is required. |
|
|
| Choose a configuration from the table below. `fullset` and `hardset` are the split names. Always specify the task; different tasks have different answer schemas. |
|

| ## Structure and fields |
|
|
| ```text |
| LingLan/ |
| ├── README.md |
| ├── README_zh.md |
| ├── task_configs.json |
| ├── data_manifest.json |
| └── data/ |
| ├── README.md |

| ├── fullset/ |
| └── hardset/ |
| ``` |
|
|
| See [data/README.md](data/README.md) for all fields, answer formats, ID relationships, and evaluation output conventions. `task_configs.json` mirrors the README's task/file mappings. `data_manifest.json` records the row count and SHA-256 checksum of each JSONL file. The Hugging Face and ModelScope distributions contain identical JSONL bytes copied from the GitHub source data. |
|
|
| ## Independent and joint diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning evaluation |
|
|
| Diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning supports generating syndrome, treatment, or prescription independently, or all three in one call. Join the three files by four-digit case ID for joint generation; the GitHub runner uses this workflow. See [diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning documentation](data/README.md#diagnostic-and-therapeutic-reasoning) for fields, entry-point names, and scoring. |
|
|
| This example loads the three gold answers for one shared case: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| tasks = ["syndrome", "treatment_method", "herbal_prescription"] |
| components = {} |
| for task in tasks: |
| rows = load_dataset("TCMLLM/LingLan", name=task, split="hardset") |
| components[task] = {r["id"].rsplit("_", 1)[1]: r for r in rows} |
| case_id = next(iter(components["syndrome"])) |
| records = [components[task][case_id] for task in tasks] |
| assert len({r["病历文本"] for r in records}) == 1 |
| print(records[0]["病历文本"]) |
| print({task: components[task][case_id]["answer"] for task in tasks}) |
| ``` |
