### Dataset Summary

QReCC (Question Rewriting in Conversational Context) is an end-to-end open-domain question answering dataset comprising of 14K conversations with 81K question-answer pairs. The goal of this dataset is to provide a challenging benchmark for end-to-end conversational question answering that includes the individual subtasks of question rewriting, passage retrieval and reading comprehension.

The task in QReCC is to find answers to conversational questions within a collection of 10M web pages split into 54M passages. Answers to questions in the same conversation may be distributed across several web pages.

The passage collection should be downloaded from [**Zenodo**](https://zenodo.org/record/5115890#.YaeD7C8RppR) (passages.zip)
