### Dataset Summary

[BoolQ](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/boolq) is a question answering dataset created by [Google](https://huggingface.co/google) for yes/no questions containing 15942 examples. These questions are naturally
occurring ---they are generated in unprompted and unconstrained settings.
Each example was a triplet of (question, passage, answer), with the title of the page as optional additional context. I converted it to ShareGPT where the passage and answer are combined into one cohesive response from the AI.
I plan to use this as regularization for upcoming datasets that I intend to post to this account.
