| ### Dataset Summary | |
| Wiki Question Answering corpus from Microsoft. | |
| The WikiQA corpus is a publicly available set of question and sentence pairs, collected and annotated for research on open-domain question answering. | |
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| [More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards) | |

| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| #### default | |
| - **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 6.77 MB | |
| - **Size of the generated dataset:** 6.10 MB | |
| - **Total amount of disk used:** 12.87 MB | |
| An example of 'train' looks as follows. | |
| ``` | |
| { | |
| "answer": "Glacier caves are often called ice caves , but this term is properly used to describe bedrock caves that contain year-round ice.", | |
| "document_title": "Glacier cave", | |
| "label": 0, | |
| "question": "how are glacier caves formed?", | |
| "question_id": "Q1" | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| The data fields are the same among all splits. | |
| #### default | |
| - `question_id`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `question`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `document_title`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `answer`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `label`: a classification label, with possible values including `0` (0), `1` (1). | |

| If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below. | |
| 1. SCOPE OF LICENSE. | |
| a. You may use, copy, modify, create derivative works, and distribute the Dataset: | |
| i. for research and technology development purposes only. Examples of research and technology | |
| development uses are teaching, academic research, public demonstrations and experimentation ; | |
| and | |
| ii. to publish (or present papers or articles) on your results from using such Dataset. | |
| b. The data is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the data. Microsoft reserves | |
| all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the data only | |
| as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the | |
| data that only allow you to use it in certain ways. | |
| You may not | |
| - work around any technical limitations in the data; | |
| - reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the data, except and only to the extent that applicable law | |
| expressly permits, despite this limitation; | |

| - transfer the data or this agreement to any third party; or | |
| - use the data directly in a commercial product without Microsoft’s permission. | |
| 2. DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS: | |
| a. If you distribute the Dataset or any derivative works of the Dataset, you will distribute them under the | |
| same terms and conditions as in this Agreement, and you will not grant other rights to the Dataset or | |
| derivative works that are different from those provided by this Agreement. | |
| b. If you have created derivative works of the Dataset, and distribute such derivative works, you will | |
| cause the modified files to carry prominent notices so that recipients know that they are not receiving | |
| Page 1 of 3the original Dataset. Such notices must state: (i) that you have changed the Dataset; and (ii) the date | |
| of any changes. | |
| 3. DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS. You may not: (a) alter any copyright, trademark or patent notice in the | |
| Dataset; (b) use Microsoft’s trademarks in a way that suggests your derivative works or modifications come from | |
| or are endorsed by Microsoft; (c) include the Dataset in malicious, deceptive or unlawful programs. | |
| 4. OWNERSHIP. Microsoft retains all right, title, and interest in and to any Dataset provided to you under this | |
| Agreement. You acquire no interest in the Dataset you may receive under the terms of this Agreement. | |

| without charge, any patent rights needed for their products, technologies and services to use or interface with | |
| any specific parts of a Microsoft dataset or service that includes the feedback. You will not give feedback that is | |
| subject to a license that requires Microsoft to license its Dataset or documentation to third parties because we | |
| include your feedback in them. These rights survive this Agreement. | |

| comply with all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to the Dataset. These laws | |
| include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use. For additional information, see | |

| 8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, and the terms for supplements, updates, Internet-based services and | |
| support services that you use, are the entire agreement for the Dataset. | |
| 9. SUPPORT SERVICES. Because this data is “as is,” we may not provide support services for it. | |
| 10. APPLICABLE LAW. | |
| a. United States. If you acquired the software in the United States, Washington state law governs the | |
| interpretation of this agreement and applies to claims for breach of it, regardless of conflict of laws principles. | |
| The laws of the state where you live govern all other claims, including claims under state consumer protection | |
| laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort. | |
| b. Outside the United States. If you acquired the software in any other country, the laws of that country | |
| apply. | |
| 11. LEGAL EFFECT. This Agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your | |
| country. You may also have rights with respect to the party from whom you acquired the Dataset. This | |
| Agreement does not change your rights under the laws of your country if the laws of your country do not permit | |
| it to do so. | |
| 12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. The Dataset is licensed “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. Microsoft gives no | |
| express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights or statutory guarantees | |
| under your local laws which this agreement cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, | |
| Microsoft excludes the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non- | |
| infringement. | |

| incidental, consequential or other damages. | |
