### Dataset Summary
This dataset consists of 6,642 question/answer pairs.
The questions are supposed to be answerable by Freebase, a large knowledge graph.
The questions are mostly centered around a single named entity.
The questions are popular ones asked on the web (at least in 2013).

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
#### default
- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 1.27 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 0.83 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 2.10 MB
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
"answers": ["Jamaican Creole English Language", "Jamaican English"],
"question": "what does jamaican people speak?",
"url": "http://www.freebase.com/view/en/jamaica"
}
```
### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
#### default
- `url`: a `string` feature.
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `answers`: a `list` of `string` features.
