Datasets:
Multiple-choice questions have single answers ("cop")
MedMCQA says it consists of two types of questions: "single-choice" and "multiple-choice".
However, I cannot find the difference between them as "multiple-choice" questions also seem to have one correct answer ("cop").
Has anyone figured out what the difference is between these two types?
I have opened an issue in the GitHub repo of the dataset authors: https://github.com/medmcqa/medmcqa/issues/4
I think this dataset needs better curation. The explanation contains the multiple choice answer to the the question. Maybe all multi choice options are only single answers. You can see an example below but this seems to not be the case always. I guess it is better for now to drop all choice_type == 'multi' or use some other way to find out the options.
One quick observation from the dataset is it is missing the tokens "rt" somehow. Eg. Hypertension is present as Hypeension. I've observed the same for many other examples. Any idea what could be causing this?
