## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [Data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thepurpleowl/codequeries)
- **Repository:** [Code](https://github.com/thepurpleowl/codequeries-benchmark)
- **Paper:** 

### Dataset Summary

CodeQueries is a dataset to evaluate the ability of neural networks to answer semantic queries over code. Given a query and code, a model is expected to identify answer and supporting-fact spans in the code for the query. This is extractive question-answering over code, for questions with a large scope (entire files) and complexity including both single- and multi-hop reasoning.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Extractive question answering for code, semantic understanding of code.

### Languages

The dataset contains code context from `python` files.

## Dataset Structure

### How to Use
The dataset can be directly used with the huggingface datasets package. You can load and iterate through the dataset for the proposed five settings with the following two lines of code:
```python
import datasets

# in addition to `twostep`, the other supported settings are <ideal/file_ideal/prefix>.
ds = datasets.load_dataset("thepurpleowl/codequeries", "twostep", split=datasets.Split.TEST)
print(next(iter(ds)))

 'relevance_label': 1
}
```

### Data Splits and Data Fields
Detailed information on the data splits for proposed settings can be found in the paper.

In general, data splits in all the proposed settings have examples with the following fields -
```
  - query_name (query name to uniquely identify the query)
  - code_file_path (relative source file path w.r.t. ETH Py150 corpus)
  - context_blocks (code blocks as context with metadata)  [`prefix` setting doesn't have this field and `twostep` has `context_block`]
  - answer_spans (answer spans with metadata)
  - supporting_fact_spans (supporting-fact spans with metadata)
  - example_type (1(positive)) or 0(negative)) example type)
  - single_hop (True or False - for query type)
  - subtokenized_input_sequence (example subtokens)  [`prefix` setting has the corresponding token ids]
  - label_sequence (example subtoken labels)
  - relevance_label (0 (not relevant) or 1 (relevant) - relevance label of a block)   [only `twostep` setting has this field]
```


## Dataset Creation

The dataset is created using [ETH Py150 Open dataset](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/eth_py150_open) as source for code contexts. To get semantic queries and corresponding answer/supporting-fact spans in ETH Py150 Open corpus files, CodeQL was used.
