Dataset Card for BioASQ Task B

The BioASQ corpus contains multiple question answering tasks annotated by biomedical experts, including yes/no, factoid, list, and summary questions. Pertaining to our objective of comparing neural language models, we focus on the the yes/no questions (Task 7b), and leave the inclusion of other tasks to future work. Each question is paired with a reference text containing multiple sentences from a PubMed abstract and a yes/no answer. We use the official train/dev/test split of 670/75/140 questions.
