Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

This is a subset of QG-Bench, a unified question generation benchmark proposed in "Generative Language Models for Paragraph-Level Question Generation: A Unified Benchmark and Evaluation, EMNLP 2022 main conference". This is a modified version of GermanQuAD for question generation (QG) task. Since the original dataset only contains training/validation set, we manually sample test set from training set, which has no overlap in terms of the paragraph with the training set.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

question-generation: The dataset is assumed to be used to train a model for question generation. Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high BLEU4/METEOR/ROUGE-L/BERTScore/MoverScore (see our paper for more in detail).

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

question: a string feature.
paragraph: a string feature.
answer: a string feature.
sentence: a string feature.
paragraph_answer: a string feature, which is same as the paragraph but the answer is highlighted by a special token <hl>.
paragraph_sentence: a string feature, which is same as the paragraph but a sentence containing the answer is highlighted by a special token <hl>.
sentence_answer: a string feature, which is same as the sentence but the answer is highlighted by a special token <hl>.

Each of paragraph_answer, paragraph_sentence, and sentence_answer feature is assumed to be used to train a question generation model, but with different information. The paragraph_answer and sentence_answer features are for answer-aware question generation and paragraph_sentence feature is for sentence-aware question generation.
