### Dataset Summary
[TyDi QA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tydiqa) is a question answering dataset covering 11 typologically diverse languages.
Answerable TyDi QA is an extension of the GoldP subtask of the original TyDi QA dataset to also include unanswertable questions.
## Dataset Structure
The dataset contains a train and a validation set, with 116067 and 13325 examples, respectively. Access them with
```py
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("copenlu/answerable_tydiqa")
train_set = dataset["train"]
validation_set = dataset["validation"]
```
### Data Instances
Here is an example of an instance of the dataset:
```
{'question_text': 'dimanakah Dr. Ernest François Eugène Douwes Dekker meninggal?',
'document_title': 'Ernest Douwes Dekker',
'language': 'indonesian',
'annotations':
{'answer_start': [45],
'answer_text': ['28 Agustus 1950']
},
'document_plaintext': 'Ernest Douwes Dekker wafat dini hari tanggal 28 Agustus 1950 (tertulis di batu nisannya; 29 Agustus 1950 versi van der Veur, 2006) dan dimakamkan di TMP Cikutra, Bandung.',
'document_url': 'https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest%20Douwes%20Dekker'}
```
Description of the dataset columns:
| Column name | type | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| document_title | str | The title of the Wikipedia article from which the data instance was generated |
| document_url | str | The URL of said article |
| language | str | The language of the data instance |
| question_text | str | The question to answer |
| document_plaintext | str | The context, a Wikipedia paragraph that might or might not contain the answer to the question |
| annotations["answer_start"] | list[int] | The char index in 'document_plaintext' where the answer starts. If the question is unanswerable - [-1] |
| annotations["answer_text"] | list[str] | The answer, a span of text from 'document_plaintext'. If the question is unanswerable - [''] |
**Notice:** If the question is *answerable*, annotations["answer_start"] and annotations["answer_text"] contain a list of length 1
(In some variations of the dataset the lists might be longer, e.g. if more than one person annotated the instance, but not in our case).
If the question is *unanswerable*, annotations["answer_start"] will have "-1", while annotations["answer_text"] contain a list with an empty string.
## Useful stuff
Check out the [datasets ducumentations](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/quickstart) to learn how to manipulate and use the dataset. Specifically, you might find the following functions useful:
`dataset.filter`, for filtering out data (useful for keeping instances of specific languages, for example).
`dataset.map`, for manipulating the dataset.
`dataset.to_pandas`, to convert the dataset into a pandas.DataFrame format.
