Text2DistBench is a 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 estimate statistics such as: stance distribution, topic distribution, and most/second-most frequent labels.
The dataset is constructed from movie and music entities released between 2025-12-01 and 2026-03-01.
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:
posterior_sampled_50_estimation,
posterior_sampled_50_most_freq,posterior_sampled_50_second_freq,posterior_sampled_100_estimation,
posterior_sampled_100_most_freq,
posterior_sampled_100_second_freq
Prior configurations contain only metadata without comments:
prior_estimation,
prior_most_freq,
prior_second_freq
