Is this benchmark a good one?

Any benchmark which reflects a task that humans do is a good one, unless it has specific weaknesses that a computer exploits.

I'd use models that are written for this is my work, so I find it useful.

I feel like this is true of any new benchmark.... give some smart folks a few months and they can now beat the task.

In NLP work this use not to be the case. 5 years ago we were stuck at a local maximum.

And this undervalues this task - this bridges the gap between unstructured and structured data. In many ways it is the holy grail for many tasks.
