Dataset Structure

YakugakuQA consists of two files: data.jsonl, which contains the questions, answers, and commentaries, and metadata.jsonl, which holds supplementary information about the question categories and additional details related to the answers.

data.jsonl

  • "problem_id" : unique ID, represented by a six-digit integer. The higher three digits indicate the exam number, while the lower three digits represent the question number within that specific exam.
  • "problem_text" : problem statement.
  • "choices" : choices corresponding to each question. Note that the Japanese National License Examination for Pharmacists is a multiple-choice format examination.
  • "text_only" : whether the question includes images or tables. The corresponding images or tables are not included in this dataset, even if text_only is marked as false.
  • "answer" : list of indices of the correct choices. Note the following points:
    • the choices are 1-indexed.
    • multiple choices may be included, depending on the question format.
    • "解なし" indicates there is no correct choice. The reason for this is documented in metadata.jsonl in most cases.
  • "comment" : commentary text.
