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 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 (estimation, most_freq, second_freq). **Format:** `posterior_sampled__` ### 🟨 Prior Configurations Include **only metadata (no comments)**. **Format:** `prior_` --- ## ⚙️ 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") ```
