# PEARL-Benchmark: A benchmark for evaluating phrase representations
[Learning High-Quality and General-Purpose Phrase Representations](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.10407.pdf). <br>
[Lihu Chen](https://chenlihu.com), [Gaël Varoquaux](https://gael-varoquaux.info/), [Fabian M. Suchanek](https://suchanek.name/). 
Accepted by EACL Findings 2024 <br>

Our PEARL Benchmark contains 9 phrase-level datasets of five types of tasks, which cover both the field of data science and natural language processing.

## Description
* **Paraphrase Classification**: PPDB and PPDBfiltered ([Wang et al., 2021](https://aclanthology.org/2021.emnlp-main.846/))
* **Phrase Similarity**: Turney ([Turney, 2012](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1309.4035.pdf)) and BIRD ([Asaadi et al., 2019](https://aclanthology.org/N19-1050/))
* **Entity Retrieval**: We constructed two datasets based on Yago ([Pellissier Tanon et al., 2020](https://hal-lara.archives-ouvertes.fr/DIG/hal-03108570v1)) and UMLS ([Bodenreider, 2004](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC308795/))
* **Entity Clustering**: CoNLL 03 ([Tjong Kim Sang, 2002](https://aclanthology.org/W02-2024/)) and BC5CDR ([Li et al., 2016](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4860626/))
* **Fuzzy Join**: AutoFJ benchmark ([Li et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04489)), which contains 50 diverse fuzzy-join datasets

## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
turney_dataset = load_dataset("Lihuchen/pearl_benchmark", "turney", split="test")
```

## Evaluation
We offer a python script to evaluate your model: [eval.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Lihuchen/pearl_benchmark/blob/main/eval.py)
```python
python eval.py -batch_size 32
```
