BioMixQA

Overview

BiomixQA is a curated biomedical question-answering dataset designed to evaluate AI models on biomedical knowledge and reasoning. It has been utilized to validate the Knowledge Graph based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (KG-RAG) framework across different LLMs.

Task Description

  • Task Type: Biomedical Multiple-Choice Question Answering
  • Input: Biomedical question with multiple answer choices
  • Output: Correct answer letter
  • Domain: Biomedical sciences, healthcare, life sciences

Key Features

  • Curated biomedical questions from diverse sources
  • Tests medical and biological knowledge comprehension
  • Validates RAG framework effectiveness for biomedical domain
  • Multiple-choice format for standardized evaluation
  • Useful for evaluating healthcare AI systems

Evaluation Notes

  • Default configuration uses 0-shot evaluation
  • Simple accuracy metric for performance measurement
  • Evaluates on test split
  • No few-shot examples provided

Usage

Using CLI

evalscope eval \
    --model YOUR_MODEL \
    --api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
    --api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
    --datasets biomix_qa \
    --limit 10  # Remove this line for formal evaluation

Using Python

from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig

task_cfg = TaskConfig(
    model='YOUR_MODEL',
    api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
    api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
    datasets=['biomix_qa'],
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)

run_task(task_cfg=task_cfg)
