asqa

  • Description:

ASQA is the first long-form question answering dataset that focuses on ambiguous factoid questions. Different from previous long-form answers datasets, each question is annotated with both long-form answers and extractive question-answer pairs, which should be answerable by the generated passage. A generated long-form answer will be evaluated using both ROUGE and QA accuracy. We showed that these evaluation metrics correlated with human judgment well. In this repostory we release the ASQA dataset, together with the evaluation code: <a href="https://github.com/google-research/language/tree/master/language/asqa">https://github.com/google-research/language/tree/master/language/asqa</a>
