This dataset contains selected instances from the AVeriTeC train split with custom retrieved web evidence. The evidence was retrieved using the following steps:
- Search query generation: Generate 3-5 search queries for web retrieval per claim by few-shot prompting Ministral-14B model. They can be found in the dataset under
search_queries. - Web-based evidence retrieval: Google search using the original claim and generated search queries via SERP API with date constraints to avoid information published after the claim was made. Web content was scraped using
trafilaturaandpdfplumberpackages for HTML and PDF files, respectively. We successfully scrape about 150 web pages per claim. - Evidence ranking: Rank the relevance of the evidence chunks with respect to the claim and search queries
- Chunking: Split/Merge the scraped web contents' paragraphs into chunks of about 500 tokens, resulting in ~50,000 - 100,000 chunks per claim
- Dense-sparse hybrid retrieval: For dense retrieval, compute cosine similarity between all search query and evidence chunk embeddings, then max-pool over the search queries. Embeddings generated using this model. For sparse retrieval, BM25 from
rank_bm25is used, again max-pooling over search queries. Rankings from both methods are combined using Reciprocal Rank Fusion. The top-200 evidence chunks are retained for the following steps. - De-duplication: Remove duplicate or near-duplicate chunks by clustering based on the embeddings cosine similarities and retaining only the longest chunk per cluster.
- Generative re-ranking: Re-rank the remaining chunks using a generative re-ranking model and retain the top-10 highest ranking chunks.
The dataset contains the textual content of the top-10 most relevant evidence chunks (evidences_content) and corresponding metadata (evidences_metadata), including the URL, title, and date of the web page from where the evidence chunk was scraped.
