# MQA
MQA is a multilingual corpus of questions and answers parsed from the [Common Crawl](https://commoncrawl.org/). Questions are divided between *Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)* pages and *Community Question Answering (CQA)* pages.
```
from datasets import load_dataset
all = load_dataset("clips/mqa", language="en")
{
"name": "the title of the question (if any)",
"text": "the body of the question (if any)",
"answers": [{
"text": "the text of the answer",
"is_accepted": "true|false"
}]
}
faq = load_dataset("clips/mqa", scope="faq", language="en")
cqa = load_dataset("clips/mqa", scope="cqa", language="en")
```
## Languages
We collected around **234M pairs** of questions and answers in **39 languages**. To download a language specific subset you need to specify the language key as configuration. See below for an example.
```
load_dataset("clips/mqa", language="en") # replace "en" by any language listed below
```

## FAQ vs. CQA
You can download the *Frequently Asked Questions* (FAQ) or the *Community Question Answering* (CQA) part of the dataset.
```
faq = load_dataset("clips/mqa", scope="faq")
cqa = load_dataset("clips/mqa", scope="cqa")
all = load_dataset("clips/mqa", scope="all")
```
Although FAQ and CQA questions share the same structure, CQA questions can have multiple answers for a given questions, while FAQ questions have a single answer. FAQ questions typically only have a title (`name` key), while CQA have a title and a body (`name` and `text`).
## Nesting and Data Fields
You can specify three different nesting level: `question`, `page` and `domain`.
#### Question
```
load_dataset("clips/mqa", level="question") # default
```
The default level is the question object:
- **name**: the title of the question (if any)
- **text**: the body of the question (if any)
- **answers**: a list of answers
- **text**: the title of the answer (if any)
- **name**: the body of the answer
- **is_accepted**: true if the answer is selected.
#### Page
This level returns a list of questions present on the same page. This is mostly useful for FAQs since CQAs already have one question per page.
```
load_dataset("clips/mqa", level="page")
```
#### Domain
This level returns a list of pages present on the web domain. This is a good way to cope with FAQs duplication by sampling one page per domain at each epoch.
```
load_dataset("clips/mqa", level="domain")
```
## Source Data
This section was adapted from the source data description of [OSCAR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/oscar#source-data)
Common Crawl is a non-profit foundation which produces and maintains an open repository of web crawled data that is both accessible and analysable. Common Crawl's complete web archive consists of petabytes of data collected over 8 years of web crawling. The repository contains raw web page HTML data (WARC files), metdata extracts (WAT files) and plain text extracts (WET files). The organisation's crawlers has always respected nofollow and robots.txt policies.
To construct MQA, we used the WARC files of Common Crawl.
