# MuLD
> The Multitask Long Document Benchmark

MuLD (Multitask Long Document Benchmark) is a set of 6 NLP tasks where the inputs consist of at least 10,000 words. The benchmark covers a wide variety of task types including translation, summarization, question answering, and classification. Additionally there is a range of output lengths from a single word classification label all the way up to an output longer than the input text.

- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.07362

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The 6 MuLD tasks consist of:
- **NarrativeQA** - A question answering dataset requiring an understanding of the plot of books and films.
- **HotpotQA** - An expanded version of HotpotQA requiring multihop reasoning between multiple wikipedia pages. This expanded version includes the full Wikipedia pages.
- **OpenSubtitles** - A translation dataset based on the OpenSubtitles 2018 dataset. The entire subtitles for each tv show is provided, one subtitle per line in both English and German.
- **VLSP (Very Long Scientific Papers)** - An expanded version of the Scientific Papers summarization dataset. Instead of removing very long papers (e.g. thesis), we explicitly include them removing any short papers.
- **AO3 Style Change Detection**
- **Character Type Identification**

### Dataset Structure
The data is presented in a text-to-text format where each instance contains a input string, output string and (optionally) json encoded metadata.
```
{'input: 'Who was wearing the blue shirt? The beginning...', 'output': ['John'], 'metadata': ''}
```

### Data Fields
- `input`: a string which has a differing structure per task but is presented in a unified format
- `output`: a list of strings where each is a possible answer. Most instances only have a single answer, but some such as narrativeQA and VLSP may have multiple.
- `metadata`: Additional metadata which may be helpful for evaluation. In this version, only the OpenSubtitles task contains metadata (for the ContraPro annotations).

### Data Splits
Each tasks contains different splits.
