Source: BBQ Dataset: A Hand-Built Bias Benchmark for Question Answering
The BBQ dataset is a collection of questions and answers that are designed to measure the social biases of language models in question answering tasks. The dataset contains questions that are either under-informative or adequately informative, and that target different protected classes across various social dimensions, such as race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. The dataset aims to promote fair and unbiased question answering models that can handle diverse and complex social contexts.
You can see which subsets and splits are available below.
| Split | Details |
|---|---|
| test | Testing set from the BBQ dataset, containing 1012 question and answers examples. |
| test-tiny | Truncated version of the test set from the BBQ dataset, containing 50 question and answers examples. |
Example
In the evaluation process, we start by fetching original_context and original_question from the dataset. The model then generates an expected_result based on this input. To assess model robustness, we introduce perturbations to the original_context and original_question, resulting in perturbed_context and perturbed_question. The model processes these perturbed inputs, producing an actual_result. The comparison between the expected_result and actual_result is conducted using the QAEvalChain approach from the LangChain library. Alternatively, users can employ metrics like String Distance or Embedding Distance to evaluate the model’s performance in the Question-Answering Task within the robustness category. For a more in-depth exploration of these approaches, you can refer to this notebook discussing these three methods.
