CompUGE-Bench: Comparative Understanding and Generation Evaluation Benchmark for Comparative Question Answering

Ahmad Shallouf, Irina Nikishina, Chris Biemann

Abstract

This paper presents CompUGE, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate Comparative Question Answering (CompQA) systems. The benchmark is structured around four core tasks: Comparative Question Identification, Object and Aspect Identification, Stance Classification, and Answer Generation. It unifies multiple datasets and provides a robust evaluation platform to compare various models across these sub-tasks. We also create additional all-encompassing CompUGE datasets by filtering and merging the existing ones. The benchmark for comparative question answering sub-tasks is designed as a web application available on HuggingFace Spaces: https://huggingface.co/spaces/uhhlt/CompUGE-Bench
