TABLET-Small

This is the Small sized train set of the TABLET dataset. It contains the train examples for 14 TABLET tasks.
Each task is capped at 140,000 examples, resulting in a total of 776,602 training examples across 14 tasks.
This dataset is self-contained, each example includes a table image, its HTML representation, and the associated task data.
However, if you're interested in downloading just the TABLET tables, check out TABLET-tables.

All TABLET Subsets:

• (train) TABLET-Small: The smallest TABLET subset, including 776,602 examples across 14 tasks.
• (train) TABLET-Medium: Includes all examples from TABLET-Small, plus Column Type Annotation, Entity Linking, and Relation Extraction tasks. Each task is capped at 140,000 examples, resulting in a total of 1,117,217 training examples across 17 tasks.
• (train) TABLET-Large: Includes all examples from TABLET-Medium with no cap on task size, resulting in a total of 3,505,311 training examples across 17 tasks.
• (dev) TABLET-dev: The development set of TABLET.
• (test) TABLET-test: The test set of TABLET.

Using the Dataset

Given its size, we recommend streaming the dataset instead of downloading it entirely to disk:

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('alonsoapp/TABLET-Small', split='fetaqa_train', streaming=True)
print(next(iter(dataset)))

Data Fields

Each sample within the dataset is structured with the following fields:

• example_id: Unique identifier for the example.
• task: The name of the task this example belongs to.
• src_example_ids: IDs of the original examples from the source dataset, formatted as {"Dataset name": "id"}. Use the get_original_example helper function from our published code to easily retrieve the source example.
• table_id: Unique identifier for the table.
• table_seed_id: ID referencing the table in its original (seed) dataset.
• table_seed_dataset: Name of the dataset where the table originated, typically matching the source dataset of the example.
• table_page_title: For tables sourced from Wikipedia, the corresponding page title.
• table_section_title: For Wikipedia tables, the title of the section where the table appears.
• table_variant: Either "raw" or "highlighted". Some examples visually highlight specific cells and this field indicates whether the table is unmodified (raw) or includes highlights (highlighted).
• img_source: Source of the table image. That is, whether the image comes from the Wikipedia visualization (wikipedia), a synthetic renderization from the data in the soruce dataset (seed_render), or directly copied from the original visualization of the table of the source dataset (PubTabNet, TabMWP).
• input: The instructified input used for training and evaluation (see paper). The input can be rephrased using information in metadata.
• output: The expected model output for the given input.
• split: Dataset split: train, dev, or test.
• metadata: Atomic data for the example to enable reconstruction or rephrasing of the instruction. Each key indicates a data element, the value can be obtained from either the 'input' or the 'output' strings using the substring defined by the character indexes in 'idx'. Use the get_metadata helper function from our published code to retrieve these values.
• table_wiki_page_id: For Wikipedia tables, the page ID corresponding to the article containing the table (useful for Wikipedia API queries).
• table_wiki_old_id: For Wikipedia tables, the “old ID” identifying the article version at the crawl time.
• table_html: HTML representation of the table. Use the render_table helper function from our code to render it in its original style. For highlighted variants, highlighted cells use the CSS class demeter_highlighted_cell. Remove any decorators for this class in the CSS to render identically to the raw version.
• table_img: The image representation of the table.
