BiomixQA Dataset
Overview
BiomixQA is a curated biomedical question-answering dataset comprising two distinct components:
- Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
- True/False Questions
This dataset has been utilized to validate the Knowledge Graph based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (KG-RAG) framework across different Large Language Models (LLMs). The diverse nature of questions in this dataset, spanning multiple choice and true/false formats, along with its coverage of various biomedical concepts, makes it particularly suitable for assessing the performance of KG-RAG framework.
Hence, this dataset is designed to support research and development in biomedical natural language processing, knowledge graph reasoning, and question-answering systems.
Dataset Description
- Repository: https://github.com/BaranziniLab/KG_RAG
- Paper: Biomedical knowledge graph-optimized prompt generation for large language models
- Point of Contact: Karthik Soman
Dataset Components
1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
