Dataset Card for SQuAD-TR

📜 SQuAD-TR

SQuAD-TR is a machine translated version of the original SQuAD2.0 dataset into Turkish, using Amazon Translate.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Our data instances follow that of the original SQuAD2.0 dataset. Shared below is an example instance from the default train dataset🍫

Example from SQuAD2.0:

{
    "context": "Chocolate is New York City's leading specialty-food export, with up to US$234 million worth of exports each year. Entrepreneurs were forming a \"Chocolate District\" in Brooklyn as of 2014, while Godiva, one of the world's largest chocolatiers, continues to be headquartered in Manhattan.",
  "qas": [
    {
     "id": "56cff221234ae51400d9c140",
      "question": "Which one of the world's largest chocolate makers is stationed in Manhattan?",
      "is_impossible": false,
      "answers": [
        {
          "text": "Godiva",
          "answer_start": 194
        }
      ],
    }
  ]
}

Turkish translation:

{
    "context": "Çikolata, her yıl 234 milyon ABD dolarına varan ihracatı ile New York'un önde gelen özel gıda ihracatıdır. Girişimciler 2014 yılı itibariyle Brooklyn'de bir “Çikolata Bölgesi” kurarken, dünyanın en büyük çikolatacılarından biri olan Godiva merkezi Manhattan'da olmaya devam ediyor.",
    "qas": [
        {
            "id": "56cff221234ae51400d9c140",
            "question": "Dünyanın en büyük çikolata üreticilerinden hangisi Manhattan'da konuşlandırılmış?",
            "is_impossible": false,
            "answers": [
                {
                    "text": "Godiva",
                    "answer_start": 233
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Data Fields

Below if the data model of the splits.

  • id: a string feature.
  • title: a string feature.
  • context: a string feature.
  • question: a string feature.
  • answers: a dictionary feature containing:
    • text: a string feature.
    • *answer_start: a int32 feature.

*Notes:

  • The training split we get by openqa parameter will not include answer_start field as it is not required for the training phase of the OpenQA formulation.
  • The split we get by excluded parameter is also missing answer_start field as we could not identify the starting index of the answers for these examples from the context after the translation.

Dataset Creation

We translated the titles, context paragraphs, questions and answer spans from the original SQuAD2.0 dataset using Amazon Translate - requiring us to remap the starting positions of the answer spans, since their positions were changed due to the automatic translation.

We performed an automatic post-processing step to populate the start positions for the answer spans. To do so, we have first looked at whether there was an exact match for the translated answer span in the translated context paragraph and if so, we kept the answer text along with this start position found. If no exact match was found, we looked for approximate matches using a character-level edit distance algorithm.

We have excluded the question-answer pairs from the original dataset where neither an exact nor an approximate match was found in the translated version. Our default configuration corresponds to this version.

We have put the excluded examples in our excluded configuration.

As a result, the datasets in these two configurations are mutually exclusive. Below are the details for the corresponding dataset splits.

Data Splits

The SQuAD2.0 TR dataset has 2 splits: train and validation. Below are the statistics for the most recent version of the dataset in the default configuration.

Split Articles Paragraphs Answerable Questions Unanswerable Questions Total
train 442 18776 61293 43498 104,791
validation 35 1204 2346 5945 8291
Split Articles Paragraphs Questions wo/ answers Total
train-excluded 440 13490 25528 25528
dev-excluded 35 924 3582 3582

In addition to the default configuration, we also a different view of train split can be obtained specifically for openqa setting by combining the train and train-excluded splits. In this view, we only have question-answer pairs (without answer_start field) along with their contexts.
