SQuAD1.1 dev Benchmark (Question Answering)

55 rows 45 with code listed 2 metrics Dataset page

Question answering can be segmented into domain-specific tasks like community question answering and knowledge-base question answering. Popular benchmark datasets for evaluation question answering systems include SQuAD, HotPotQA, bAbI, TriviaQA, WikiQA, and many others. Models for question answering are typically evaluated on metrics like EM and F1. Some recent top performing models are T5 and XLNet.

The chart needs JavaScript; the table below carries every value.

Direction inferred from the metric name, not from the archive: F1 (higher is better). Not inferred (points only, no best-so-far line): EM. Points are placed at the row's paper date; 55 of 55 rows carry one.

Results archive 2025-07-28

Archive rows end at the archive snapshot, 2025-07-28: no result published after that date is in this table. Rank is the archive's row order at that snapshot; not re-ranked here. Metric values are the archive's strings. Column headers sort the table in your browser; each row keeps its archive rank.

Syntology Ran reads "N of M ran · U unverified": of the M code samples Syntology harvested from repositories linked to that row's paper (joined by arXiv id), N executed on a synthesized input and the other U = M−N are unverified (harvested, no recorded run). It counts code from repositories linked to that row's paper, not this result: the row's number was not reproduced and nothing here is a correctness claim. The other cell texts mean no graph line for the row: "linked, not harvested" (the archive links code, Syntology has not harvested it), "no code linked" (no code link in the archive), "not matched" (the row's paper URL matched no paper on this site). 26 rows have a graph line, from 17 distinct papers; 23 rows (14 papers) have at least one sample that ran. Counting each paper once: Syntology ran 307 of 920 samples; 613 unverified. Separately, 212 of those 920 are pointer-only (licence): the site points at that code rather than redistributing it, a licence property recorded for ran and unverified samples alike; each cell's tooltip carries the row's own pointer-only count.
