## What is it?
* Dataset for evaluation text-to-sql models based on <a href="https://yale-lily.github.io/spider">Spider dataset</a>.
* It is divided into 32 groups **(testsets)** of samples. Each group checks some models ability.
* For each group there is control group **(simplyset)** - the same samples, but without considering features.
* This is very similar to A/B-testing technic.
* All the simplified samples (from control group) are new.
* Test samples contains:
  1. Examples extracted from Spider (not only from "dev", but also from "train" and "train_other") **Be careful,** if you use it for training!
  2. Examples extracted from Spider, but corrected from ambiguity and errors
  3. Manually created (new) examples

## Structure
### Folders and files
* [\[all\]](/all) -  the hole dataset in one place
  * ```all/testset_all.json``` - the samples with features from all testsets
  * ```all/simplyset_all.json``` - the samples without features from all testsets
  * ```all/spiderology.json``` - the samples with features from all testsets and simplysets
  * ```all/tables_all.json``` - the schemes of all tables required for requests
  * ```all/databases``` - the SQLite-databases for all requests in testsets and simplysets
* [\[testsets\]](/testsets) - folder with testsets calledby their name
  * ```testsets/X/testset_X.json``` - the samples with feature X. Structure of samples is below
  * ```testsets/X/simplyset_X.json``` - the samples from testset without feature X. Structure of samples is the same
  * ```testsets/X/tables_X.json``` - the schemes of all tables for testset and simplyset
  * ```testsets/X/databases_X.json``` - the SQLite-databases for all requests in testsets and simplysets X
  * ```testsets/X/markup_X.json``` - the simplysets and testsets in one table (in the form convenient for comparing)
* [\[experiments/predictions\]](/experiments/predictions) - folder with testsets calledby their name
  * ```/experiments/predictions/spiderology_with_predictions.json``` - all samples with predictions of two considering models

### Structure of testsets and simplysets

```
{
  "id": Unique ID of sample
  "db_id": Name od database, corresponds to folder with DB in the databases_X
  "query": SQL-query
  "query_toks": Tokens of SQL-query
  "query_toks_no_value": Tokens of SQL-query, filter value replaced by token 'value'
  "question": Natural language question  
  "question_toks": Tokens of natural language question 
  "sql": Structured SQL-query (in Spider format
  "tags": List of tags (features an sub-characteristics)
  "source": Variant of sources (see below)
  "parents_id": None for samples in testset or ID of simplified sample for simplification
  "is_simplification": 'true' for simplifications, 'false' for other samples
  "simplifications_tags": None for samples from testset, list of named simplified features for simplyset,
  "predictions": Dictionary with SQL-queries predicted by models (exists only in the folder "experiments"),
  "evaluation": Results of exact_matching, execution and human evaluation (exists only in the folder "experiments")
}
```

#### Sources
* ```SIMPLIFIED``` = Simplification of samples
* ```SPIDER_DEV``` = Samples from Spider test set ('dev')
* ```SPIDER_TRAIN``` = Samples from Spider train set ('train')
* ```SPIDER_TRAIN_OTHERS``` =  Samples from Spider train set ('train_other')
* ```ADDED``` = Created samples with features (not from Spider)
