## Updates
|
|
* 2021-12-01: In order to facilitate researchers to evaluate their NLG models, we make the [test set](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11lDXIG87dChIfukq3x2Wx4r5_duCRm_J/view?usp=sharing) of GLGE public. The evaluation script can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/ProphetNet/tree/master/GLGE_baselines).
|
|
* 2021-05-11: We fixed the issue where inconsistent post-processing led to low ROUGE scores of our baselines for the gigaword test set.

## Introduction
|
|
This repository contains information about the general langugae generation evaluation benchmark GLGE, which is composed of 8 language generation tasks, including Abstractive Text Summarization (CNN/DailyMail, Gigaword, XSUM, MSNews), Answer-aware Question Generation (SQuAD 1.1, MSQG), Conversational Question Answering (CoQA), and Personalizing Dialogue (Personachat). In order to provide more diversified difficulty challenges, we provide 3 different difficulty versions (**easy**, **medium**, and **hard**) for each task.

## Tasks
|
|
The 8 tasks in GLGE can be categorized into 4 groups: Abstractive Text Summarization tasks, Answer-aware Question Generation tasks, Conversational Question Answering task, and Personalizing Dialogue task.
|
|
|
|
### Abstractive Text Summarization Tasks
|
|
|
|
#### CNN/DailyMail
|
|
CNN/DailyMail `\cite{hermann2015cnndm}` dataset contains 220K articles from the Daily Mail newspapers, and 93K articles from the CNN. Each article contains a bullet point summary. GLGE use the non-anonymized variant used in `\cite{see2017get}`. After the pre-processing, there are 311,971 <article, summary> data pairs, where the source input is the article, and the target output is the summary which consists of multiple sentences. ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L are used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
#### Gigaword
|
|
Gigaword `\cite{rush2015neural}` contains 4M examples extracted from the news articles of the Gigaword corpus `\cite{graff2003gigaword}`. After the pre-processing, there are 3,995,559 <passage, summary> data pairs, where the source input is the the first sentence of the article, and the target output is the headline that often only contains a single sentence. ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L are used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
#### XSUM
|
|
XSUM `\cite{narayan2018don}` consists of 227K online articles from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which contains professionally written single-sentence summaries. After the pre-processing, there are 226,677 <article, summary> data pairs, where the source input is the the news article, and the target output is a single summary sentence. ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L are used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
#### MSNews
|
|
MicroSoft News headline generation (MSNews). We random select 151K online news articles from 2012-1-1 to 2020-9-1 from a real-world news search engine. Each article contains a professionally written single-sentence headline. After the pre-processing, there are 151,140 <article, headline> data pairs, where the source input is the news article, and the target output is a news headline.
|
|
|
|
### Answer-aware Question Generation Tasks
|
|
#### SQuAD 1.1
|
|
SQuAD 1.1 `cite{rajpurkar2016squad}` dataset contains 536 Wikipedia articles with over 100k Amazon Mechanical Turks crowd-worker created questions posed about the articles with the corresponding answer span. Since the original hidden test set of the SQuAD 1.1 is hidden, we re-split the dataset with the examples from the original training set and dev set. After the pre-processing, there are 98,169 <answer, passage, question> data triples the source input is a Wikipedia passage along with an answer span, and the target output is a question. ROUGE-L, BLEU-4, and METEOR are used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
#### MSQG
|
|
MicroSoft Question Generation (MSQG) is another dataset we collected, which is a new challenge dataset. the questions in this dataset are freely edited by daily users. For MSQG, we collect 220K passages from a real world search engine. Each passage contains a highlight span and a related query, we regard the queries as questions in this dataset. After the pre-processing, there are 220,088 <highlight span, passage, question> data triples, where the source input is a news passage along with highlight span, and the target output is a user question. ROUGE-L, BLEU-4, and METEOR are used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
### Answer-aware Question Generation Tasks
|
|
|
|
#### CoQA
|
|
CoQA `\cite{reddy2019coqa}` dataset contains 127K questions with answers, obtained from 8K conversations about text passages from seven diverse domains. After the pre-processing, there are 116,630 <conversation history, passage, question, answer> data 4-tuples, where the source input is a sequence of conversation history along with a given question and a give passage, and the target output is a free-form answer text. F1-Score is used as the metrics.
|
|
|
|
### Conversational Question Answering Task
|
|
|
|
#### PersonaChat
|
|
PersonaChat `\cite{zhang2018personalizing}` dataset is consist of 162,064 utterances, which require models generate responses according to given multi-turn conversations and persona profile. After the pre-processing, there are 151,157 <persona profile description text, conversation history, response> data triples, where the source input is a sequence of conversation history along with several sentences of persona profile description text, and the target output is a response. BLEU-1, BLEU-2, Distinct-1, and Distinct-2 are used as the metrics.

## Get Dataset
|
|
In order to use our dataset, please navigate to [GLGE Leaderboard](https://microsoft.github.io/glge/) and agree to our terms of service. After you do so a download link will be made available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Get Baselines
|
|
We put the baselines to ProphetNet [repo](https://github.com/microsoft/ProphetNet/tree/master/GLGE_baselines). It contains the pre-trained models, fine-tuning scripts, and evaluation scripts for GLGE.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of BART can refer to [repo](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/bart).
|
|
|
|
The implementation of MASS can refer to [repo](https://github.com/microsoft/MASS).
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that, considering the computational cost, we have not carefully adjusted the hyperparameters of all baseline methods. Better results may be obtained by adjusting the default hyperparameters.
|
|
|
|
## Leaderboard Submission
|
|
|
|
### Submissions
|
|
To submit your predictions for evaluation, please create a single folder which contains the prediction files (see [submission_examples](submission_examples/) for an example).
|
|
The prediction file shoud be named with the following format: `{task}.{version}.test` where `{version}` is the difficulty versions (**easy**, **medium**, and **hard**), task is the task name (**cnndm**, **gigaword**, **xsum**, **msnews**, **sqaudqg**, **msqg**, **coqa**, and **personachat** ).
|
|
Please validate that you have done this correctly by evaluating against the development file. Once that is done <a href='glge@microsoft.com'>email your submission</a>. We will reply with your model performance.
|
|
|
|
We allow **partial submission** of results, such as the result of a single task on the GLGE-easy.
|
|
|
|
In order to facilitate researchers to evaluate their NLG models, we make the [test set](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11lDXIG87dChIfukq3x2Wx4r5_duCRm_J/view?usp=sharing) of GLGE public. The evaluation script can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/ProphetNet/tree/master/GLGE_baselines).
