Dataset Summary

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. In the paper, we show that these evaluation metrics are well-correlated with human judgments.
