Multilingual generated QAs and source corpora

Multilingual supporting evidence

The qas configuration now includes native nested evidence_all_languages and evidence_alignment_status fields with the five keys en, de, es, fr, and zh. Each language contains a list of span/status objects; an unavailable language has an empty list. Original questions, answers, metadata, and corpus records are preserved. Arabic and Russian corpus versions remain available where previously published; this alignment run did not create evidence in those languages.

For easy reading, evidence_en, evidence_de, evidence_es, evidence_fr, and evidence_zh contain lists of the exact passage strings. A corpus-specific readable CSV contains these fields alongside questions and answers. In its readable language columns, one span is plain text, no span is an empty cell, and multiple spans use a JSON list. Native Parquet columns always remain lists. No span strings are joined, translated, or normalized.

Original supporting text is marked source_exact. Generated spans are literal matches in the linked target document and remain pending_review: exact quotation does not establish semantic equivalence or independent human review. The language-specific status lists retain unsuccessful/uncertain alignments and their provenance. evidence_alignment_eligibility explains excluded QAs (for example, missing exact original support or a quarantined language label); such questions remain in the dataset without invented evidence. The contract is cross_language_evidence_terra_v1. Legacy evidence/evidence_language columns and the separate evidence configuration keep their previous interpretation.

This update adds supporting passages only. It creates no retrieval chunks or new relevance judgments, and does not change source_qrels.

Contains documents associated with the published questions and their available translations. This QA release does not include the complete retrieval haystack.

All supplied generator candidates are retained, including low-scoring and unmatched evidence. The train split is a storage convention; no leakage-safe evaluation split has been assigned. Before splitting, group questions from the same article/act, UN document, or patent and its translation partners to avoid source and generator leakage.

Configurations

• qas: 1,950 rows

• evidence: 1,950 rows

• source_qrels: 4,033 rows

• corpus: 409 rows

• qas: questions, answers, raw evidence, persona/mode, model, scores, source IDs and involvement. document_text embeds the complete primary source unit; additional involved units are linked through involved_source_unit_ids to corpus. metadata_json preserves the complete input row, including persona-specific fields, prompts, grading responses, routing decisions and generation references. provenance_json identifies the input file and row/task. CSV metadata preserves its original string types.

• evidence: canonical supporting text: explicit evidence where present, otherwise answer. origin distinguishes the two. start and end refer to the original corpus unit's text, in Unicode code points, end-exclusive; only the first exact match receives offsets. Matching checks only presence (exact or whitespace-normalized), not factual entailment. Support is checked against the primary source, not every involved/translated document.

• corpus: _id, text, language, source/parent IDs, unit type and original metadata. EUR-Lex units are full articles (or explicitly involved annexes); patent units are title + abstract; UN units are entire documents joined from the original aligned lines. UN block IDs/ranges survive in QA metadata only. EUR-Lex duplicate ELI/language records use the last occurrence, matching the generation loader. Source text and patent markup are retained.

• source_qrels: positive source-unit associations derived from generation provenance, plus existing language versions of each legal unit / directly accepted chemistry translation partners. They are not manually judged relevance or chunk-level qrels. score=1 indicates an association; absent judgments do not establish irrelevance. Supplied contextual references alone do not create positives. Chemistry partners are not expanded transitively.

involved_source_unit_ids includes the primary source and explicitly involved EUR-Lex units; involved_article_ids includes article ELIs only. multi_article is true when multiple articles are resolved or the generator declared it. multi_article_declared retains that declaration; multi_article_conflict identifies a disagreement with the resolved article count. cross_act means involvement across acts; multi_source_unit also covers an article plus an annex. A translation into another language does not count as another involved article. UN and chemistry have no article-involvement annotation, so their multi_article is false and multi_article_declared is null; supplied UN references are retained only as metadata.

These source units have not yet been chunked. Create retrieval chunks with a pinned tokenizer (e.g. BAAI/bge-m3), preserve parent IDs and character ranges, and align evidence to those chunks. Do not mark every chunk of a source document relevant. Unmatched or translated evidence needs separate alignment/review before it can establish chunk-level judgments.

manifest.json records export inputs and SHA-256 hashes; report.json records coverage, models, personas, evidence matching and multi-article statistics. No upstream license is assigned to generated material by this exporter.

BASF-AI AI4Chem abstract pairs

• Source dataset: BASF-AI/ai4chem-clir-google-patents-within-document-abstract-pairs, maintained by BASF-AI. The upstream dataset contains pairs of cleaned abstracts from the same Google Patents publication.
• Selection: This derived corpus retains pairs with pair_ok=true and judge_verdict equal to exact or high, with both endpoints in English, German, French, Spanish or Chinese. Retrieval positives follow the accepted direct pair links.
• Provenance: The corpus preserves the upstream dataset revision, corpus and group identifiers, accepted pair identifiers and paired document identifiers. Questions, answers and grading are generated by this benchmark pipeline.
• Terms: The upstream dataset card does not establish a verified license for these paired records or their underlying patent text. Consult the upstream dataset and the applicable source terms; this notice does not assign a license or import a historical BigQuery license claim.
• No endorsement: This benchmark is independent of BASF-AI and the providers of the underlying patent publications.
