FewRel (Few-Shot Relation Classification Dataset)

Introduced by Xu Han et al. in FewRel: A Large-Scale Supervised Few-Shot Relation Classification Dataset with State-of-the-Art Evaluation1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The FewRel (Few-Shot Relation Classification Dataset) contains 100 relations and 70,000 instances from Wikipedia. The dataset is divided into three subsets: training set (64 relations), validation set (16 relations) and test set (20 relations).

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 3 leaderboards 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.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

7 shown of 7 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 189. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
