## 📌 Overview
**Text2DistBench** is a reading comprehension benchmark for evaluating whether large language models can infer distributional knowledge from natural language evidence.
Given metadata and a set of user comments about an entity (e.g., a movie or song), models must infer statistics such as:
stance/topic distribution, and most/second- frequent labels.

---

## ⚙️ Configurations
The dataset is constructed from movie and music entities released between 2026-01-01 and 2026-04-01. 
It includes two types of configurations:

### 🟦 Posterior Configurations
Include both metadata and user comments as evidence.  
These configurations differ by sample size (50 or 100 comments) and task type (estimation, most_freq, second_freq).
**Format:** `posterior_sampled_<comment_num>_<task>`

### 🟨 Prior Configurations
Include **only metadata (no comments)**. 
**Format:** `prior_<task>`


---

## ⚙️ Dataset Format
Each benchmark instance corresponds to a distributional reading comprehension question.
```
{
  "qid": < question id >,
  "qtype": < distribution type >,
  "answer": < answer (mode label or distribution depending on task) >,
  "ref_dist": < Ground-truth distribution over labels >,
  "question": < Full prompt shown to model (instruction + evidence + query) >,
  "source": "< entity name >",
  "meta_data": "< text evidence >",
  "comments": "< text evidence (if posterior)>",
  "condition": "< conditioning variable for P(s|t), P(t|s) >",
}
```

## ⚙️ Load the Dataset
```bash
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("frett/Text2DistBench", "posterior_sampled_50_estimation", split="test")
ds = load_dataset("frett/Text2DistBench", "prior_most_freq", split="test")
```
