ReCoRD

PaLM 2-L 93.8% Dropped

Models fill in a masked entity in a query about a news article, using the article as context. Scoring is exact match and token F1.

ReCoRD is one of the SuperGLUE tasks.

In the authors’ words

We present a large-scale dataset, ReCoRD, for machine reading comprehension requiring commonsense reasoning. Experiments on this dataset demonstrate that the performance of state-of-the-art MRC systems fall far behind human performance. ReCoRD represents a challenge for future research to bridge the gap between human and machine commonsense reading comprehension. ReCoRD is available at http://nlp.jhu.edu/record.

PaLM 2-L leads with 93.8%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
