ELI5
ELI5 is a dataset for long-form question answering. It contains 270K complex, diverse questions that require explanatory multi-sentence answers. Web search results are used as evidence documents to answer each question.
ELI5 is also a task in Dodecadialogue.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
All 1 leaderboard whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.
| First row (archive order) | Paper | Code | ||||

Papers archive 2025-07-28
6 shown of 6 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 158. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
