It can be used together with the [TiLt-Pro](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Jekaterina/tilt-pro) dataset, as both follow the exact same structure. ## Dataset Structure ### Data Instances A typical data point comprises some meta data, including language of the test, the country of origin, file source and name, number of the test's specific question, and a license of the test. The main content contains the question, suggested options for the answer and the correct answer. In addition, some information about the nature of the test is provided, including test level and category in both original language and in English. An example from the TiLt-HS dataset looks as follows: ``` { "language": "lt", "country": "Lithuania", "file_name": "Elektroninė-versija-Ekonomikos-ir-finansu-uzduotys-su-atsakymais.pdf", "source": "https://www.nmakademija.lt/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/", "license": "no license", "level": "high school", "category_en": "microeconomics", "category_original_lang": "mikroekonomika", "original_question_num": 1, "question": "Nuperkamų prekių kiekio priklausomybė nuo kainos vadinama", "options": [ "pasiūlos funkcija", "paklausos funkcija", "rinkos pusiausvyra", "sąnaudų padengimo tašku" ], "answer": "2" } ``` ### Data Fields - `language`: The language of the sample. - `country`: The country of the sample. - `source`: The ID or URL of the source. - `file_name`: The name of the source file. - `license`: License of the source. - `level`: The academic level of the tested knowledge. Can be one of the following: e.g. Middle School, High School, University Entrance, University, Professional etc. - `category_en`: The low level category according to the source IN ENGLISH, i.e. the exam name. - `category_original_lang`: Similarly to the `category_en` attribute, the low level category according to the source IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE. - `original_question_num`: Id of the sample. - `question`: The text of the multi-choice question or the statement of the True-False question. - `options`: A list of texts of the multiple choice options. In the case of True-False task, it is left blank. - `answer`: The string representing the correct choice(s) (1, 2, 3, ...). It corresponds to the numbering of the respective choice columns. In the case of True-False task, this is "1" for true and "0" for false. ### Data Splits The dataset is not split and has only a *train* subset. The dataset contains tests for three academic topics, with the following individual number of datapoints/test questions in each: | | Train | |-----------------------------------------|-------| | microeconomics | 71 | | macroeconomics | 25 | | finances and bookkeeping, year 2018 | 46 | ## Dataset Creation ### Curation Rationale This dataset was collected as a part of the ***AYA Expedition*** initiative, for the ***Global Exams*** project. ### Source Data The original tests for all the topics were downloaded from the website of [the National Academy of Students](https://www.nmakademija.lt). Exact link to each test question is provided in the `source` and `file_name` fields of the dataset. ### Data Collection and Processing Tests were downloaded during the period of August 25-27, 2024. Only the questions with multiple-choice answers were selected from the tests. Questions depending on images/figures to be answered, were filtered out. Questions that required reading a paragraph & answering were not included either. Only a subset of available professional tests was included in the current version of the dataset. ### Annotations The dataset does not contain any additional annotations. ### Personal and Sensitive Information No personal, sensitive or private information included in the dataset. ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations This dataset only includes the tests for a certain limited number of academic topics. There is a risk that some of the knowledge presented in the tests changes with time, especially in the area of finance and bookkeeping, so it is important to pay attention to the date of the data collection. This dataset only contains of Lithuanian academic tests and does not necessarily generalize to other languages. ### Recommendations Users should be aware of the risks and limitations of the dataset. ## Dataset Card Author [Jekaterina Novikova](https://jeknov.github.io/) ## Dataset Card Contact [Jekaterina Novikova](https://jeknov.github.io/)
