Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

Geo-Benchmark aims to assess Large Language Models' (LLM) geographical abilities across a multitude of tasks. It is built from 12 datasets split across 8 differents tasks:

These datasets have been preprocessed in order to be easily accessible.

import datasets

dataset = datasets.load_dataset("rfr2003/Geo_Benchmark", "GeoSQA")

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset is used for Text Generation.

Languages

All datasets are in English (en).

Dataset Structure

As this dataset contains very heterogenous tasks, almost every dataset as a different data structure.
