  # ASTRA-QA: A Benchmark for Abstract Question Answering over Documents
23
 
24
- ASTRA-QA, short for AbSTRAct Question Answering over documents, is a dataset and benchmark for document-level, synthesis-heavy question answering in retrieval-augmented generation systems.
25
- It evaluates whether a system can read long documents, organize evidence, and produce grounded abstractive answers with reference-based assessment, rather than only retrieve short facts.
 
26
 
27
  ## Dataset Summary
28
 
29
- - **869 questions** in total
30
- - **5 task types**: `Single-Sum`, `Pair-Comp`, `Multi-Comp`, `Enum`, and `Temp`
31
- - **2 source domains**: academic documents and news documents
32
- - **3 retrieval scopes** used in the benchmark: `Simple`, `Middle`, and `Hard`
33
 
34
  ## Dataset Files
35
 
36
- - `corpus.jsonl`: source documents used for retrieval and evidence grounding
37
- - `questions.jsonl`: abstractive question-answer pairs with topic-set style answers and benchmark metadata
38
 
39
  ## Task Types
40
 
41
- - **Single-Sum**: summarize a single document into a compact grounded answer
42
- - **Pair-Comp**: compare two documents, methods, entities, or events
43
- - **Multi-Comp**: synthesize comparisons across multiple targets
44
- - **Enum**: enumerate key items, themes, findings, or contributions
45
- - **Temp**: reconstruct temporally evolving events over a time window

26
+ ASTRA-QA (AbSTRAct Question Answering over documents) is a dataset and benchmark for document-level, synthesis-heavy question answering in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. It evaluates whether a system can read long documents, organize evidence, and produce grounded abstractive answers using a reference-based assessment paradigm.

  ## Dataset Summary
29
 
30
+ - **869 questions** in total.
31
+ - **5 task families**: `Single-Sum`, `Pair-Comp`, `Multi-Comp`, `Enum`, and `Temp`.
32
+ - **2 source domains**: Academic papers (arXiv, OpenReview) and news documents.
33
+ - **3 retrieval scopes**: `Simple`, `Middle`, and `Hard` (distractor-heavy).
34
 
35
  ## Dataset Files
36
 
37
+ - `corpus.jsonl`: Source documents used for retrieval and evidence grounding.
38
+ - `questions.jsonl`: Abstractive question-answer pairs with topic-set style answers, aligned evidence, and benchmark metadata.
39
 
40
  ## Task Types
41
 
42
+ - **Single-Sum**: Summarize a single document into a compact grounded answer.
43
+ - **Pair-Comp**: Compare two documents, methods, entities, or events.
44
+ - **Multi-Comp**: Synthesize comparisons across multiple targets.
45
+ - **Enum**: Enumerate key items, themes, findings, or contributions.
46
+ - **Temp**: Reconstruct temporally evolving events over a time window.

48
+ ## Reference-Based Evaluation
49
+
50
+ Unlike traditional QA benchmarks that often rely on short facts or pairwise preference judgments, ASTRA-QA uses curated **topic sets**. This allows the benchmark to assess whether a model covers required key points and avoids unsupported content (hallucination) by directly scoring topic coverage, enabling a more interpretable and scalable evaluation of abstractive RAG quality.
