# Dataset Card for Dataset Name
UDA (Unstructured Document Analysis) is a benchmark suite for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in real-world document analysis.
Each entry in the UDA dataset is organized as a *document-question-answer* triplet, where a question is raised from the document, accompanied by a corresponding ground-truth answer.
The documents are retained in their original file formats without parsing or segmentation;
they consist of both textual and tabular data, reflecting the complex nature of real-world analytical scenarios.
## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
- **Curated by:** Yulong Hui, Tsinghua University
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English
- **License:** CC-BY-SA-4.0
- **Repository:** https://github.com/qinchuanhui/UDA-Benchmark
## Uses
### Direct Use
Question-answering tasks on complete unstructured documents.
After loading the dataset, you should also **download the sourc document files from the folder `src_doc_files`**.
More usage guidelines please refer to https://github.com/qinchuanhui/UDA-Benchmark
### Extended Use
Evaluate the effectiveness of retrieval strategies using the evidence provided in the `extended_qa_info` folder.
Directly assess the performance of LLMs in numerical reasoning and table reasoning, using the evidence in the `extended_qa_info` folder as context.
Assess the effectiveness of parsing strategies on unstructured PDF documents.
## Dataset Structure
<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->
#### Descriptive Statistics
Sub Dataset (folder_name) | Source Domain | Doc Format | Doc Num | Q&A Num | Avg #Words | Avg #Pages |Q&A Types
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---| --- |---
FinHybrid (fin) | finance reports | PDF | 788 | 8190 | 76.6k | 147.8 |arithmetic
TatHybrid (tat)| finance reports |PDF|170|14703|77.5k|148.5|extractive, counting, arithmetic
PaperTab (paper_tab)| academic papers |PDF|307|393|6.1k|11.0|extractive, yes/no, free-form
PaperText (paper_text)| academic papers | PDF|1087|2804|5.9k|10.6|extractive, yes/no, free-form
FetaTab (feta)| wikipedia |PDF & HTML|878|1023|6.0k|14.9|free-form
NqText (nq)| wikipedia |PDF & HTML|645|2477|6.1k|14.9|extractive
#### Data Fields
Field Name | Field Value | Description| Example
--- | --- | ---|---
doc_name | string | name of the source document | 1912.01214
q_uid | string | unique id of the question | 9a05a5f4351db75da371f7ac12eb0b03607c4b87
question | string | raised question | which datasets did they experiment with?
answer <br />or answer_1, answer_2 <br />or short_answer, long_answer | string | ground truth answer/answers | Europarl, MultiUN
**Additional Notes:** Some sub-datasets may have multiple ground_truth answers, where the answers are organized as `answer_1`, `answer_2` (in FinHybrid, PaperTab and PaperText) or `short_answer`, `long_answer` (in NqText); In sub-dataset TatHybrid, the answer is organized as a sequence, due to the involvement of the multi-span Q&A type. Additionally, some sub-datasets may have unique data fields. For example, `doc_url` in FetaTab and NqText describes the Wikipedia URL page, while `answer_type` and `answer_scale` in TatHybrid provide extended answer references.
## Dataset Creation
### Source Data
<!-- This section describes the source data (e.g. news text and headlines, social media posts, translated sentences, ...). -->
#### Data Collection and Processing
We collect the Q&A labels from the open-released datasets (i.e., source datasets), which are all annotated by human participants.
Then we conduct a series of essential constructing actions, including source-document identification, categorization, filtering, data transformation.

## Considerations for Using the Data
#### Personal and Sensitive Information
The dataset doesn't contain data that might be considered personal, sensitive, or private. The sources of data are publicly available reports, papers and wikipedia pages, which have been commonly utilized and accepted by the broader community.
