### Dataset Summary

The Compositional Freebase Questions (CFQ) is a dataset that is specifically designed to measure compositional
generalization. CFQ is a simple yet realistic, large dataset of natural language questions and answers that also
provides for each question a corresponding SPARQL query against the Freebase knowledge base. This means that CFQ can
also be used for semantic parsing.
