relive-qa

Re-hosting questions from RealtimeQA while we discuss ways to continue posting articles + Q&A using a semi-automated format.

Suggestion: en.WikiNews.org

Scraper version

Prerequisites: pip install openai lxml cssselector requests xmltodict and OpenAI API key

I've added two scripts:

• scrape.py : base script to load plain text from the latest WikiNews articles
• scrape_with_openai.py : pass scraped text to OpenAI's GPT-4o to generate questions and answers for each article
• scrape_morerecent_with_openai.py : scrape recent articles which WikiNews hasn't yet published from Category:May 2024, then use OpenAI's GPT-4o for Q&A

An LLM evaluated on this Q&A could read the WikiNews summary, the links collected from the story, or do its own web searches.

Issues

• Prompt needs review to avoid making answer choices which are obvious or more specific than alternative choices.
• Questions and answers should be based on new information in the article, and not general knowledge.
• Links and the title may give away the answer as the subject of the article, rather than using reading comprehension.
• WikiNews articles may be niche or local stories, where facts are not known to an LLM unless it reads the specific article
