### Dataset Summary
[JaQuAD](https://github.com/SkelterLabsInc/JaQuAD) dataset for question generation (QG) task. The test set of the original 
data is not publicly released, so we randomly sampled test questions from the training set.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
* `question-generation`: The dataset can be used to train a model for question generation.
  Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high BLEU4/METEOR/ROUGE-L score.

### Languages
Japanese (ja)

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances

- **Size of the generated dataset:** 269 MB
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
  "question": "What is heresy mainly at odds with?",
  "passage": "Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs. A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs. Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause, and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.",
  "answer": "established beliefs or customs",
  "sentence": "Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs .",
  "passage_sentence": "<hl> Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs . <hl> A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs. Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause, and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.",
  "passage_answer": "Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that is strongly at variance with <hl> established beliefs or customs <hl>. A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs. Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause, and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.",
  "sentence_answer": "Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that is strongly at variance with <hl> established beliefs or customs <hl> ."
}
```
### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
#### plain_text
- `question`: a `string` feature. 
- `passage`: a `string` feature.
- `answer`: a `string` feature.
- `sentence`: a `string` feature.
- `passage_answer`: a `string` feature, which is same as the passage but the answer is highlighted by a special token `<hl>`.
- `passage_sentence`: a `string` feature, which is same as the passage but a sentence containing the answer is highlighted by a special token `<hl>`.
- `sentence_answer`: a `string` feature, which is same as the sentence but the answer is highlighted by a special token `<hl>`.

Each of `passage_answer`, `passage_sentence`, and `sentence_answer` feature is assumed to be used to train a question generation model,
but with different information. The `passage_answer` and `sentence_answer` features are for answer-aware question generation and 
`passage_sentence` feature is for sentence-aware question generation.
