### Dataset Summary
MLQA (MultiLingual Question Answering) is a benchmark dataset for evaluating cross-lingual question answering performance.
MLQA consists of over 5K extractive QA instances (12K in English) in SQuAD format in seven languages - English, Arabic,
German, Spanish, Hindi, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese. MLQA is highly parallel, with QA instances parallel between
4 different languages on average.
