## Overview
QASC (Question Answering via Sentence Composition) is a question-answering dataset with a focus on multi-hop sentence composition. It consists of 9,980 8-way multiple-choice questions about grade school science, requiring models to combine multiple facts to arrive at the correct answer.
## Task Description
- **Task Type**: Multi-hop Science Question Answering (Multiple-Choice)
- **Input**: Science question with 8 answer choices
- **Output**: Correct answer letter
- **Focus**: Sentence composition and multi-hop reasoning
## Key Features
- 9,980 grade school science questions
- 8-way multiple-choice format
- Requires composing two facts to answer
- Tests multi-hop reasoning over scientific knowledge
- Annotated with supporting facts for each question
## Evaluation Notes
- Default configuration uses **0-shot** evaluation
- Evaluates on validation split
- Simple accuracy metric
- Useful for evaluating compositional reasoning

## Usage
### Using CLI
```bash
evalscope eval \
--model YOUR_MODEL \
--api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
--api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
--datasets qasc \
--limit 10 # Remove this line for formal evaluation
```
### Using Python
```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=['qasc'],
limit=10, # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
run_task(task_cfg=task_cfg)
```
