The MilkQA Dataset
I am not the author of this dataset, this is a reproduction of the MilkQA dataset on HuggingFace, the original data can be downloaded from the link: http://nilc.icmc.usp.br/nilc/index.php/milkqa
MilkQA is a dataset of dense questions for the task of answer selection. It contains questions and answers of the dairy farming domain that were collected by the customer service of Embrapa Dairy Cattle between the years of 2003 and 2012.
The dataset currently contains 2,657 anonymized pairs of questions and answers and is organized in three partitions: training, development and tests, that contains 2,307, 50 and 300 questions, respectively. Each question is associated to a pool of 50 candidate answers where only one answer is correct.
MilkQA is composed of challenging questions that are different from those typically approached in Question Answering. In our work, we call them consumer questions. These questions usually occur in situations where people seek solutions for some problem and present very particular characteristics, such as the larger size and the lack of objectivity.
Details about MilkQA are provided in the paper referenced below. Please, if you use the dataset, consider citing this paper (available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03460).

Dataset Contents
- Data Directory
The queries and corpus subsets contains all the pairs of questions and answers linked by the same id.
- Qrels
The splits {train,dev,test} correspond to the training, development and test subsets.
The column query-id, which represents a question in queries subset, is associated with its ground truth answer (positive-doc-id) and a pool of candidate answers (candidates-ids). The pool of candidates contains the ground truth answer.
