MASH-QA Dataset
MASH-QA is a dataset tailored for Question Answering (QA) tasks in the consumer health domain. It is designed to facilitate information extraction from long and comprehensive documents, focusing on answering generally non-factoid questions. Unlike traditional Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) datasets that feature short, single-span answers, MASH-QA provides answers that are often multi-sentential and sourced from multiple spans of long context articles.
Features of MASH-QA
- Domain: Consumer Health
- Context Length: Long healthcare articles
- Question Type: Generally non-factoid
- Answer Type: Multi-span, multi-sentence, and excerpted from various parts of the context.
Dataset Details
MASH-QA enables researchers to:
- Explore multi-span extraction techniques for long contexts.
- Develop models capable of handling complex QA tasks with long, non-contiguous answers.
