Dataset Card for "WikiQA-Free_Form_QA"

The WikiQA task is the task of answering a question based on the information given in a Wikipedia document. We have built upon the short answer format data in Google Natural Questions to construct our QA task. It is formatted as a document and a question. We ensure the answer to the question is a short answer which is either a single word or a small sentence directly cut pasted from the document. Having the task structured as such, we can pinpoint exactly where the LLM was supposed to "look" for the answer in the context, and thus effectively evaluate every part of the expanded context length by carefully placing the answer in different locations.

We have selected large Wikipedia documents and have truncated them to get multiple versions of the same document with sizes varying between 2000 to 16000 tokens. For each size of the document, we also have multiple versions which place the question and the answer text at different locations i.e whether it occurs in the first 10%, the bulk or last 10% of the document. Having multiple version of the same document allows us to get a exhaustive and fair evaluation across model sizes, and within one model's context positions since we intrinsically are asking for the same information.
