# Dataset information |
|
**Dataset concatenating QA datasets with context available in French and open-source.** |
|
In addition, an augmented version of these datasets has been added (same context but different questions to create data in SQuAD 2.0 format). |
|
In total, there are 221,348 training data, **910** validation data and 6,376 test data. |
|
In practice, due to the restrictive license for the FQUAD 1.0 dataset, we can only share **200,617** rows of the 221,348 training data and **3,188** rows of the 6,376 test data. |
|
So to obtain the complete dataset, the user will have to concatenate this dataset with the fquad dataset available [here](https://fquad.illuin.tech/). |
|
Our methodology is described in a blog post available in [English](https://blog.vaniila.ai/en/QA_en/) or [French](https://blog.vaniila.ai/QA/). |

|
- the `context` column contains the context |
|
- the `question` column contains the question |
|
- the `answer` column contains the answer (has been replaced by `no_answer` for rows in SQuAD v2 format) |
|
- the `answer_start` column contains the start position of the answer in the context (has been replaced by `-1` for rows in SQuAD v2 format) |
|
- the `dataset` column identifies the row's original dataset (if you wish to apply filters to it, rows in SQuAD v2 format are indicated with the suffix `_v2` in the dataset name) |
|
|
|
## Split |
|
- `train` corresponds to the concatenation of the training dataset from `pragnakalp/squad_v2_english_translated` + `lincoln/newsquadfr` + `PIAFv1.2` + the augmented version of each dataset in SQuADv2 format (no shuffle has been performed) |
|
- `validation` corresponds to the concatenation of the newsquadfr validation dataset + this same dataset expanded in SQuAD v2 format (= newsquadfr_v2) (no shuffle performed) |
|
- `test` corresponds to the concatenation of the fquad dataset SQuAD v1 in SQuAD v2 format (here we can only share the SQuAD v2 format) |

# Question type statistics |
|
|
|
The question type distribution is as follows: |
|
|
|
| Type of question | Frequency in percent | |
|
| ----------- | ----------- | |
|
|What (que) |55.02| |
|
|Who (qui) |15.96| |
|
|How much (combien)|7.92| |

|
|Why (pourquoi) |1.25| |
|
|Other |3.44| |
|
|
|
The number of questions containing a negation, e.g. "What was the name of Chopin's first music teacher who was not an amateur musician?", is estimated at 3.55% of the total questions. |
|
|
|
|
|
For information, the distribution of the complete dataset (containing FQUAD 1.0 and FQUAD 1.0 data in SQUAD 2.0 format) is as follows: |
