The authors introduce ListQA, a benchmark of 9,045 human-curated questions that require large language models to recall multiple facts and present them as structured lists.

The authors constructed 9,045 questions requiring list-formatted answers of 3-10 elements, spanning eight categories and covering factual knowledge from over 60 countries.
