RobuT

Data and code for ACL 2023 paper "RobuT: A Systematic Study of Table QA Robustness Against Human-Annotated Adversarial Perturbations"

Prepare Environment

We officially support python 3.9. You could use following commands to install the required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

RobuT Dataset

We have released our dataset on HuggingFace. Use the following command to load the dataset (we use RobuT-WTQ as an example):

datasets = load_dataset("yilunzhao/robut", split="wtq")

The dataset can also be found in robut_data.zip file.

Experiments

To run each model on each RobuT subset, please execute the inference scripts in the inference_scripts directory. For example, use the following command to evaluate the performance of TAPEX on RobuT-WTQ:

bash inference_scripts/wtq/tapex.sh

The corresponding model output and scores can be found at outputs/wtq/tapex-preds.json and outputs/wtq/tapex-scores.json, respectively.
