Abstract

"This dataset provides benchmark data for evaluating the YpathRAG framework, a supportiveness-aware evidence retrieval and reranking system designed for pathology question answering. It contains three components: (1) a reranking benchmark with evaluation queries annotated with supportive and non-supportive passage labels, enabling the assessment of reranking models on distinguishing answer-justifying evidence from topically related but non-supportive passages; (2) a downstream pathology question-answering evaluation set with per-question metrics for measuring end-to-end QA performance under different retrieval configurations; and (3) ablation study data comprising top-30 retrieval candidates from both dense-only (BGE) and hybrid (dense + lexicon-guided sparse) pipelines in JSONL format, facilitating reproduction of comparative experiments. All data are derived from a 1.53-million-passage Chinese pathology corpus. The dataset supports research in biomedical information retrieval, evidence-based question answering, and retrieval-augmented generation for clinical NLP applications."
