# EditEval: The Instruction-Based Benchmark for Text Improvements

This dataset contains the [EditEval benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.13331) data, converted to JSONL and organized by task/dataset.

## Subsets

| Config | Task | Examples |
|--------|------|----------|
| `jfleg` | Fluency | 1,501 |
| `asset` | Simplification | 2,359 |
| `turk` | Simplification | 2,359 |
| `iterater` | Mixed (all tasks) | 621 |
| `iterater_fluency` | Fluency | 203 |
| `iterater_clarity` | Clarity | 342 |
| `iterater_coherence` | Coherence | 76 |
| `stsb_multi_mt` | Paraphrasing | 153 |
| `wnc` | Neutralization | 1,700 |
| `wafer_insert` | Updating (insertion) | 9,108 |
| `fruit` | Updating | 150 |

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load a specific subset
ds = load_dataset("bzz2/EditEval", "jfleg")

# Load with a limit
ds = load_dataset("bzz2/EditEval", "fruit", split="train[:10]")
```

## Schema

Each record has the following fields:

- `id` — unique example identifier
- `input` — source text to be edited
- `title` — article/document title (if applicable)
- `task_type` — editing task (fluency, simplification, neutralization, etc.)
- `retrieved_documents` — supporting documents (used by updating tasks)
- `meta` — additional metadata (JSON string)
