### Dataset Summary
Modified version of [SQuAD-it](https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad_it) 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 can be used to train a model for question generation.
  Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high BLEU4/METEOR/ROUGE-L score.

### Languages
Italian (it)

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
#### plain_text
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
  'answer': 'Carlo III',
  'question': "Il figlio di chi è morto sulla strada per Palermo e vi è sepolto?",
  'sentence': 'Carlo III scelse Palermo per la sua incoronazione come Re di Sicilia.',
  'paragraph': 'Dopo il trattato di Utrecht (1713), la Sicilia fu consegnata ai Savoia, ma nel 1734 fu nuovamente posseduta dai...',
  'sentence_answer': '<hl> Carlo III <hl> scelse Palermo per la sua incoronazione come Re di Sicilia.',
  'paragraph_answer': "Dopo il trattato di Utrecht (1713), la Sicilia fu consegnata ai Savoia, ma nel 1734 fu nuovamente posseduta dai borbonici. <hl> Carlo III <hl> scelse Palermo per la sua incoronazione come Re di Sicilia. Charles fece costruire nuove case per la popolazione in crescita, mentre il commercio e l' industria crebbero. Tuttavia, ormai Palermo era ora solo un' altra città provinciale, dato che la Corte Reale risiedeva a Napoli. Il figlio di Carlo Ferdinando, anche se non gradito dalla popolazione, si rifugiò a Palermo dopo la Rivoluzione francese del 1798. Suo figlio Alberto è morto sulla strada per Palermo ed è sepolto in città. Quando fu fondato il Regno delle Due Sicilie, la capitale originaria era Palermo (1816) ma un anno dopo si trasferì a Napoli.",

### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
#### plain_text
- `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.
