New ASTRA-QA benchmark evaluates abstract question answering

Researchers have introduced ASTRA-QA, a new benchmark designed to evaluate abstract question answering capabilities over documents. This benchmark addresses limitations in existing methods by providing explicit evaluation annotations, including answer topic sets and curated unsupported topics, to enable more robust scoring. ASTRA-QA aims to assess how well models synthesize information and avoid generating unsupported content, offering diagnostics for coverage and hallucination. AI

    ASTRA-QA: A Benchmark for Abstract Question Answering over Documents

    Document-based question answering (QA) increasingly includes abstract questions that require synthesizing scattered information from long documents or across multiple documents into coherent answers. However, this setting is still poorly supported by existing benchmarks and evalu…
