### Dataset Summary

This dataset contains Question and Answer data from Amazon.

Disclaimer: The team releasing Amazon-QA did not upload the dataset to the Hub and did not write a dataset card. 
These steps were done by the Hugging Face team.

### Supported Tasks
- [Sentence Transformers](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers) training; useful for semantic search and sentence similarity. 
### Languages
- English.
## Dataset Structure
Each example in the dataset contains pairs of query and answer sentences and is formatted as a dictionary:
```
{"query": [sentence_1], "pos": [sentence_2]}
{"query": [sentence_1], "pos": [sentence_2]}
...
{"query": [sentence_1], "pos": [sentence_2]}
```
This dataset is useful for training Sentence Transformers models. Refer to the following post on how to train models using similar sentences.
### Usage Example
Install the 🤗 Datasets library with `pip install datasets` and load the dataset from the Hub with:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("embedding-data/Amazon-QA")
```
The dataset is loaded as a `DatasetDict` and has the format:
```python
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['query', 'pos'],
        num_rows: 1095290
    })
})
```
Review an example `i` with:
```python
dataset["train"][0]
```
