Generative Question Answering

The Reddit dataset is a graph dataset from Reddit posts made in the month of September, 2014. The node label in this case is the community, or “subreddit”, that a post belongs to. 50 large communities have been sampled to build a post-to-post graph, connecting posts if the same user comments on both. In total this dataset contains 232,965 posts with an average degree of 492. The first 20 days are used for training and the remaining days for testing (with 30% used for validation). For features, off-the-shelf 300-dimensional GloVe CommonCrawl word vectors are used. Source: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02216.pdf Image Source: https://minimaxir.com/2016/05/reddit-graph/

CoQA is a large-scale dataset for building Conversational Question Answering systems. The goal of the CoQA challenge is to measure the ability of machines to understand a text passage and answer a series of interconnected questions that appear in a conversation. CoQA contains 127,000+ questions with answers collected from 8000+ conversations. Each conversation is collected by pairing two crowdworkers to chat about a passage in the form of questions and answers. The unique features of CoQA include 1) the questions are conversational; 2) the answers can be free-form text; 3) each answer also comes with an evidence subsequence highlighted in the passage; and 4) the passages are collected from seven diverse domains. CoQA has a lot of challenging phenomena not present in existing reading comprehension datasets, e.g., coreference and pragmatic reasoning.

CICERO contains 53,000 inferences for five commonsense dimensions -- cause, subsequent event, prerequisite, motivation, and emotional reaction -- collected from 5600 dialogues. It involves two challenging generative and multi-choice alternative selection tasks for the state-of-the-art NLP models to solve. Download the dataset using this link.

This paper introduces FrenchMedMCQA, the first publicly available Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) dataset in French for medical domain. It is composed of 3,105 questions taken from real exams of the French medical specialization diploma in pharmacy, mixing single and multiple answers. Each instance of the dataset contains an identifier, a question, five possible answers and their manual correction(s). We also propose first baseline models to automatically process this MCQA task in order to report on the current performances and to highlight the difficulty of the task. A detailed analysis of the results showed that it is necessary to have representations adapted to the medical domain or to the MCQA task: in our case, English specialized models yielded better results than generic French ones, even though FrenchMedMCQA is in French. Corpus, models and tools are available online.

LLeQA is a French native dataset for studying information retrieval and long-form question answering in the legal domain. It consists of a knowledge corpus of 27,941 statutory articles collected from the Belgian legislation, and 1,868 legal questions posed by Belgian citizens and labeled by experienced jurists with a comprehensive answer rooted in relevant articles from the corpus.

Dataset with articles posted in the r/Liberal and r/Conservative subreddits. In total, we collected a corpus of 226,010 articles. We have collected news articles to understand political expression through the shared news articles.
