# Inspec Benchmark Dataset for Keyphrase Generation
## About
Inspec is a dataset for benchmarking keyphrase extraction and generation models.
The dataset is composed of 2,000 abstracts of scientific papers collected from the [Inspec database](https://www.theiet.org/resources/inspec/).
Keyphrases were annotated by professional indexers in an uncontrolled setting (that is, not limited to thesaurus entries).
Details about the inspec dataset can be found in the original paper [(Hulth, 2003)][hulth-2003].
Reference (indexer-assigned) keyphrases are also categorized under the PRMU (<u>P</u>resent-<u>R</u>eordered-<u>M</u>ixed-<u>U</u>nseen) scheme as proposed in [(Boudin and Gallina, 2021)][boudin-2021].
Text pre-processing (tokenization) is carried out using `spacy` (`en_core_web_sm` model) with a special rule to avoid splitting words with hyphens (e.g. graph-based is kept as one token).
Stemming (Porter's stemmer implementation provided in `nltk`) is applied before reference keyphrases are matched against the source text.
Details about the process can be found in `prmu.py`.
## Content and statistics
The dataset is divided into the following three splits:
| Split | # documents | #words | # keyphrases | % Present | % Reordered | % Mixed | % Unseen |
| :--------- | ----------: | -----: | -----------: | --------: | ----------: | ------: | -------: |
| Train | 1,000 | 141.7 | 9.79 | 78.00 | 9.85 | 6.22 | 5.93 |
| Validation | 500 | 132.2 | 9.15 | 77.96 | 9.82 | 6.75 | 5.47 |
| Test | 500 | 134.8 | 9.83 | 78.70 | 9.92 | 6.48 | 4.91 |
The following data fields are available :
- **id**: unique identifier of the document.
- **title**: title of the document.
- **abstract**: abstract of the document.
- **keyphrases**: list of reference keyphrases.
- **prmu**: list of <u>P</u>resent-<u>R</u>eordered-<u>M</u>ixed-<u>U</u>nseen categories for reference keyphrases.
