Last Days - SemEval 2025 Task 8: Question Answering on Tabular Data
by Eugenio Martínez Camara 03 Jan '25

03 Jan '25

Last Days - SemEval 2025 Task 8: Question Answering on Tabular Data The TabularQA task of SemEval 2025 (task 8) is entering in ist final stretch, there are only *seven days left* for the development stage of the task ends. So, if you are interested in exploring the emergent capability of LLMs of answering questions from tabular data, we encourage you to use these *seven days* to prepare your set-up and participate in the shared task. We remind that we propose the following two subtasks: *Subtask I : DataBench QA* Participants will be provided with a dataset (of any size) and a question over it. The question should be answered using the data from the dataset only. *Subtask II: DataBench Lite QA* The task is essentially the same as the previous subtask, but involves using the sampled version of each dataset with a maximum of 20 rows per dataset (see explanation on DataBench Lite). The question should be answered using the data from the sampled dataset only. For the test set, we will similarly provide a reduced version of each dataset for this subtask. This task is especially relevant when testing for models with a smaller window size.
