How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-02. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A community-built dataset of 1600+ NLP tasks with natural language instructions, from AllenAI. It supports instruction-tuning research like Tk-Instruct.

Use cases

  • train instruction-following language models
  • research zero-shot generalization to unseen NLP tasks
  • get natural language definitions of NLP tasks
  • build multi-task NLP benchmarks

When to choose

  • you need a large collection of tasks with natural language instructions for instruction tuning
  • you study cross-task generalization in language models

When to avoid

  • you need a single-task labeled dataset
  • you want a maintained library rather than a dataset
