# 👩🏻⚖️ NitiBench: A Thai Legal Benchmark for RAG
**[[📄 Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.10868)] | [[👨💻 Github Repository](https://github.com/vistec-AI/nitibench/)]**
This dataset provides the **test** data for evaluating LLM frameworks, such as RAG or LCLM. The benchmark consists of two datasets:
- [NitiBench-CCL](#️-nitibench-ccl)
- [NitiBench-Tax](#-nitibench-tax)
## 🏛️ NitiBench-CCL
Derived from the [WangchanX-Legal-ThaiCCL-RAG Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/airesearch/WangchanX-Legal-ThaiCCL-RAG), our version includes an additional preprocessing step in which we separate the reasoning process from the final answer. The dataset contains 35 pieces of legislation related to **C**orporate and **C**ommercial **L**aw (CCL). Information about the 35 pieces of legislation is provided in the table below:

The training split of `nitibench-ccl` can be found in the [WangchanX-Legal-ThaiCCL-RAG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/airesearch/WangchanX-Legal-ThaiCCL-RAG).
### Data Format
Each data point contains four columns:
- `question: str` — A question relevant to the `relevant_laws`.
- `answer: str` — The original answer generated by an LLM, which has been revised and edited by legal experts to include both the reasoning steps and the final answer.
- `relevant_laws: List[Dict[str, str]]` — A list of relevant law name, section, and contents.
- `reference_answer: str` — The answer to the question based on the `relevant_laws`, provided without the reasoning steps.
- `reference_laws: List[Dict[str, str]]` - A list of referenced law mentioned in `relevant_laws` column.
Formally, given the data triple \((q, T=\{p_1, p_2, \dots, p_K\}, y)\), \(q\) represents the `question`, \(T\) represents `relevant_laws`, and \(y\) represents the `answer`.
### Data Curation
Using the notation described above, the data was curated as follows:
1. Queries (\(q\)) and answers (\(y\)) were manually crafted by legal experts based on a single section sampled from the legal texts of the 35 pieces of legislation.
2. For each data triple \((q, T, y)\), the manually crafted question was carefully quality-assured by a second legal expert.
Thus, for the test data, there is only one positive per query (\(|T|=1\)). The diagram below shows how the test data was collected.
## 💸 NitiBench-Tax
This subset provides a question, relevant laws, and an answer for each data point. Instead of having legal experts manually craft the questions, we scraped the data from a reliable source: the [Revenue Department Website](https://rd.go.th). This subset contains Tax Ruling Cases officially provided by the Revenue Department since 2021. As a result, this subset is considerably more challenging, as it requires extensive legal reasoning both for searching for relevant documents and for generating the answer. The data collection procedure is illustrated in the figure below:
### Data Format
This split uses the same format as described in the [NitiBench-CCL split](#data-format).
