RAFT (Realworld Annotated Few-shot Tasks)

Introduced by Neel Alex et al. in RAFT: A Real-World Few-Shot Text Classification Benchmark28 Sep 2021 archive 2025-07-28

The RAFT benchmark (Realworld Annotated Few-shot Tasks) focuses on naturally occurring tasks and uses an evaluation setup that mirrors deployment.

RAFT is a few-shot classification benchmark that tests language models:

  • across multiple domains (lit reviews, medical data, tweets, customer interaction, etc.)
  • on economically valuable classification tasks (someone inherently cares about the task)
  • with evaluation that mirrors deployment (50 labeled examples per task, info retrieval allowed, hidden test set)

Papers archive 2025-07-28

2 shown of 2 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 18. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
