# Dataset Card for "quran-question-answer-context"

## Dataset Summary

Translated the original dataset from Arabic to English and added the Surah ayahs to the `context` column.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("nazimali/quran-question-answer-context")
```


```python
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['q_id', 'question', 'answer', 'q_word', 'q_topic', 'fine_class', 'class', 'ontology_concept', 'ontology_concept2', 'source', 'q_src_id', 'quetion_type', 'chapter_name', 'chapter_no', 'verse', 'question_en', 'answer_en', 'q_word_en', 'q_topic_en', 'fine_class_en', 'class_en', 'ontology_concept_en', 'chapter_name_en', 'context'],
        num_rows: 978
    })
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['q_id', 'question', 'answer', 'q_word', 'q_topic', 'fine_class', 'class', 'ontology_concept', 'ontology_concept2', 'source', 'q_src_id', 'quetion_type', 'chapter_name', 'chapter_no', 'verse', 'question_en', 'answer_en', 'q_word_en', 'q_topic_en', 'fine_class_en', 'class_en', 'ontology_concept_en', 'chapter_name_en', 'context'],

## Translation Info

1. Translated the Arabic questions/concept columns to English with [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-ar-en](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-ar-en)
2. Used `en-yusufali` translations for ayas [M-AI-C/quran-en-tafssirs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/M-AI-C/quran-en-tafssirs)
3. Renamed Surahs with [kheder/quran](https://huggingface.co/datasets/kheder/quran)
4. Added the ayahs that helped answer the questions
  - Split the `ayah` columns string into a list of integers
  - Concactenated the Surah:Ayah pairs into a sentence to the `context` column

Columns with the suffix `_en` contain the translations of the original columns.

## TODO
The `context` column has some `null` values that needs to be investigated and fixed

## Initial Data Collection

The original dataset is from **[Annotated Corpus of Arabic Al-Quran Question and Answer](https://archive.researchdata.leeds.ac.uk/464/)**
