EHQA: A Multiple Choice Test Set to Assess Factual Knowledge About the Basque Country
EHQA is a dataset consisting of 1500 multiple-choice questions designed to evaluate factual knowledge about the Basque Country.
For example:
Where was Itxaro Borda born?
A) Donapaleu
B) Baiona
C) Paue
D) Oragar
The questions were created using articles about the Basque Country, taken from the Basque Wikipedia. The article selection was balanced in terms of gender of persons, types of items, and province of origin. The articles were translated into English with Elia, and a multiple-choice question was generated from each article using GPT-4 Turbo. All questions and answers have been manually reviewed. The 1500 selected articles were translated into English using Elia, and multiple-choice questions were generated using GPT-4 Turbo.
Dataset Description
Size: 66250 words (634.6KB disk space)
Language: English (EN)
License: cc-by-sa 4.0
Curated by: Orai NLP Teknologiak
Dataset Structure
The corpus is released in JSON format. Each multiple choice question contains the following attributes:
{
"question": "question",
"answer": "right answer",
"choices": [],
"id" : document_id,
"url" : "source document url"
}
For example:
"question": "Where was Itxaro Borda born?",
"answer": "b) Baiona",
"choices": ["a) Donapaleu", "b) Baiona", "c) Paue", "d) Oragar"]
"id" : 12213
"url": "https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12213"
Source Data
The source for creating the questions was articles from the Basque Wikipedia about the Basque Country (dump of 2023/11/01, 26,349 articles). One multiple-choice question was generated from each article using the Elia machine translator and GPT-4 Turbo. Only the most significant articles were selected, discarding those with fewer than 100 visits and words. To ensure the dataset contains as diverse elements as possible, the articles were divided into three main categories: people, non-human entities with a geographical attribute, and other entities. An equal number of articles (500) were taken from each category. Additionally, the dataset was balanced in terms of gender and geography:
- Gender: For people, an equal number of articles about women and men were selected, also considering their province of origin to ensure an equal number of articles from each province of the Basque Country.
- Geography: For articles with a geographical attribute, the origin was also balanced by selecting an equal number of articles about each province of the Basque Country (the three northern provinces (Lapurdi, Nafarroa Behera and Zuberoa) had to be combined due to the small number of articles about each).
This is the distribution of the selected 1500 articles:
Four questions (with their answers) were generated from each article, and the best question-answer set was manually selected and adjusted if necessary, using the following criteria:
- Context in the Question: If the question cannot be answered without context, discard it.
- Question Difficulty: If a question is too easy or too difficult, discard it. If all four generated questions are unsuitable, manually adjust one.
- Correct Answer Suitability: If the correct answer is incorrect, discard the question. If none of the four questions are suitable, manually adjust the answer of the best question.
- Suitability of Distractors: If the distractors are not suitable (too easy or too difficult), discard them. If none of the four questions are suitable, manually adjust the distractors of the best question.
Experiments on culture adaptation
Some experiments were conducted on adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) to the Basque culture, or more precisely, to include knowledge about the Basque Country in LLMs. The Harness framework was used for evaluation. Evaluation was done using byte-level normalized accuracy (acc_norm), and models were tested with multiple shots. The LLaMA2-7b model was taken as a baseline, and several techniques were analyzed to incorporate knowledge about the Basque Country into the baseline model, including continual pre-training (CP), knowledge editing (FT-L), and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation):
- Continual Pre-training (CP): The model continues to be trained with new data using the same pretraining task, Causal Language Modelling (CLM). The data used for continual pretraining were the articles used to create EHQA.
- Knowledge Editing (FT-L): Knowledge editing techniques are used to locate the specific neurons containing the knowledge to be modified, and only those specific neurons are altered. In the case of FT-L, fine-tuning is done to the model while freezing the neurons that do not contain the knowledge to be modified. The data used were the multiple-choice questions from EHQA.
- RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation): In addition to the language model, an information retrieval system is used to enrich the prompt given to the language model with information from a knowledge base. The articles used to create EHQA were used as the knowledge base.
Using these techniques, the following results were obtained:
0-shot | 1-shot | 5-shot | 10-shot | 25-shot | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
LLaMA2-7b | 33.75 | 30.29 | 35.30 | 35.74 | 36.48 |
LLaMA2-7b + CP | 27.27 | 19.6 | 18.94 | 18.35 | 19.9 |
LLaMA2-7b + FT-L | 88.36 | 86.81 | 85.34 | 84.97 | 85.48 |
LLaMA2-7b + RAG | 71.55 | - | - | - | - |
It must be noted that this comparison is preliminary, as only a few configurations of each technique were evaluated. According to the evaluated configurations, the FT-L technique offers the best performance for injecting knowledge into an LLM in the proposed scenario. The RAG method also offers competitive results, but it is only useful for tasks that allow the use of external sources, as the knowledge is not embedded in the model itself.
License
The dataset consists of multiple choice questions and is freely licensed (cc-by-sa 4.0).
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
The articles used to create the dataset were balanced in terms of gender and province of origin to ensure the evaluation was as fair as possible. However, there may be other types of biases (race, age, date, etc.) that were not addressed when selecting the articles to create the questions.
