# L-CITEEVAL: DO LONG-CONTEXT MODELS TRULY LEVERAGE CONTEXT FOR RESPONDING?
**Paper** [![arXiv](https://img.shields.io/badge/arXiv-2410.02115-b31b1b.svg?style=plastic)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02115) &nbsp; **Github** <a href="https://github.com/ZetangForward/L-CITEEVAL"><img src="https://github.githubassets.com/assets/GitHub-Mark-ea2971cee799.png" alt="Github" width="40" height="40"></a> &nbsp; **Zhihu** [![Zhihu](https://img.shields.io/badge/知乎-0079FF.svg?style=plastic&logo=zhihu&logoColor=white)](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/817442176)

## Benchmark Quickview
*L-CiteEval* is a multi-task long-context understanding with citation benchmark, covering **5 task categories**, including single-document question answering, multi-document question answering, summarization, dialogue understanding, and synthetic tasks, encompassing **11 different long-context tasks**. The context lengths for these tasks range from **8K to 48K**.

## Data Prepare
#### Load Data
```
from datasets import load_dataset

datasets = ["narrativeqa", "natural_questions", "hotpotqa", "2wikimultihopqa", "goc_report", "multi_news", "qmsum", "locomo", "dialsim", "counting_stars", "niah"]

for dataset in datasets:
    ### Load L-CiteEval
    data = load_dataset('Jonaszky123/L-CiteEval', f"L-CiteEval-Data_{dataset}")

    ### Load L-CiteEval-Length
    data = load_dataset('Jonaszky123/L-CiteEval', f"L-CiteEval-Length_{dataset}")

    ### Load L-CiteEval-Hardness
    data = load_dataset('Jonaszky123/L-CiteEval', f"L-CiteEval-Hardness_{dataset}")

```

<!-- You can get the L-CiteEval data from [🤗 Hugging face](). Once downloaded, place the data in the dataset folder. -->

All data in L-CiteEval follows the format below:
```
{
    "id": "The identifier for the data entry",
    "question": "The task question, such as for single-document QA. In summarization tasks, this may be omitted",
    "answer": "The correct or expected answer to the question, used for evaluating correctness",
    "docs": "Context divided into fixed-length chunks"
    "length": "The context length"
    "hardness": "The level of difficulty in L-CiteEval-Hardness, which can be easy, medium and hard"
}
```

You can find evaluation code in our github.
