This document aims to track the progress in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and give an overview of the state-of-the-art across the most common NLP tasks and their corresponding datasets.
It aims to cover both traditional and core NLP tasks such as dependency parsing and part-of-speech tagging as well as more recent ones such as reading comprehension and natural language inference. The main objective is to provide the reader with a quick overview of benchmark datasets and the state-of-the-art for their task of interest, which serves as a stepping stone for further research. To this end, if there is a place where results for a task are already published and regularly maintained, such as a public leaderboard, the reader will be pointed there.
These are tasks and datasets that are still missing.
- AMR parsing
- Bilingual dictionary induction
- Discourse parsing
- Entity Linking
- Information extraction
- Keyphrase extraction
- Knowledge base population (KBP)
- More dialogue tasks
- Relation extraction
- Semi-supervised learning
If you would like to add a new result, you can do so with a pull request. In order to minimize noise and to make maintenance somewhat manageable, results reported in published papers will be preferred (indicate the venue of publication in your PR); an exception may be made for influential preprints. The result should include the name of the method, the citation, the score, and a link to the paper and should be added so that the table is sorted.
To add a new dataset or task, follow the below steps. Any new datasets should have been used for evaluation in at least one published paper besides the one that introduced the dataset.
- Fork the repository.
- If your task is completely new, create a new file and link to it in the table of contents above. If not, add your task or dataset to the respective section of the corresponding file.
- Briefly describe the dataset/task and include relevant references.
- Describe the evaluation setting and evaluation metric.
- Show how an annotated example of the dataset/task looks like.
- Add a download link if available.
- Copy the below table and fill in at least two results (including the state-of-the-art) for your dataset/task (chang Score to the metric of your dataset).
- Submit your change as a pull request.
| Model | Score | Paper / Source |
|---|---|---|
- Add pointers on how to retrieve data.
- Provide more details regarding the evaluation setup of each task.
- Add an example to every task/dataset.
- Add statistics to every dataset.
- Provide a description and details for every task / dataset.
- We could potentially use readthedocs to provide a clearer structure.
- All current datasets in this list are for the English language (except for UD). In a separate section, we could add datasets for other languages.
