# WikiHow Task Set

The WikiHow task set is an InfoUI interaction task set based on
[Mobile-Env](https://github.com/X-LANCE/Mobile-Env) <!-- TODO: proposed in the
paper, the paper link -->. [WikiHow](https://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page) is a
collaborative wiki site about various real-life tips with more than 340,000
online articles. To construct the task set, 107,448 pages are crawled and the
dumped website data occupy about 88 GiB totally.

Several task definition templates are designed according to the functions of
the WikiHow app and 5,522 task definitions are instantiated through the
template toolkit in Mobile-Env. This task set is named as the *extended set*
(`wikihow-extended.tar.xz`). There may be several faults make the system or the
task fail in the auto-generated tasks. Therefore, 178 tasks are sampled from
the extended set and have been verified by human beings to ensure the
correctness and the stability, which is named as the *canonical set*
(`wikihow-canonical.tar.xz`). Owing to the limit of the budgets, only 70 tasks
are tested using the proposed LLM-based agent in the corresponding pager.
Thesed 70 tasks are given in `wikihow-microcanon.tar.xz`. We call it the
*canonical subset* or the *micro canonical set*.

### Website Data Replay

The replay script for [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) is given as
`replay_url.py`. To use this replay script, the information retrieval tool
[Pyserini](https://github.com/castorini/pyserini/) is in need. Four parameters
are expected to be assigned in the script:

+ The crawled data from WikiHow website (`dumps` in `wikihow.data.tar.xz`)
+ The html templates used for mocking the search result page (`templates` in
  `wikihow.data.tar.xz`)
+ The indices for the search engine based on Pyserini (`indices-t/indices` in
  `wikihow.data.tar.xz`)
+ The meta data of the crawled articles (`indices-t/docs/doc_meta.csv` in
  `wikihow.data.tar.xz`)

All the data in need are offered in `wikihow.data.tar.xz`. (The archive is
about 78 GiB. And the decompressed data are about 88 GiB.) The archive is split
into two pieces (`wikihow.data.tar.xz.00` and `wikihow.data.tar.xz.01`). You
can use `cat` to concatenate them:

```sh
cat wikihow.data.tar.xz.00 wikihow.data.tar.xz.01 >wikihow.data.tar.xz
```

The SHA256 chechsums are provided in `wikihow.data.tar.xz.sha256` to check the
integrity.

To run the script:

```sh
mitmproxy --showhost -s replay_url.py
```

### Certificate Unpinning Plan

The `syscert` plan proposed by Mobile-Env just works for WikiHow app. You can
complete the config according to the [guiding of
Mobile-Env](https://github.com/X-LANCE/Mobile-Env/blob/master/docs/dynamic-app-en.md).
The available apk package from [APKCombo](https://apkcombo.com/) is provided.
And note to used the AVD image of version Android 11.0 (API Level 30) (Google
APIs) to obtain the best compatibility and the root-enabled ADBD.
