Dataset Summary

A dataset for answering complex questions that require reasoning over multiple web snippets

ComplexWebQuestions is a new dataset that contains a large set of complex questions in natural language, and can be used in multiple ways:

By interacting with a search engine, which is the focus of our paper (Talmor and Berant, 2018);
As a reading comprehension task: we release 12,725,989 web snippets that are relevant for the questions, and were collected during the development of our model;
As a semantic parsing task: each question is paired with a SPARQL query that can be executed against Freebase to retrieve the answer.

Dataset Structure

QUESTION FILES

The dataset contains 34,689 examples divided into 27,734 train, 3,480 dev, 3,475 test. each containing:

"ID”: The unique ID of the example; 
"webqsp_ID": The original WebQuestionsSP ID from which the question was constructed; 
"webqsp_question": The WebQuestionsSP Question from which the question was constructed; 
"machine_question": The artificial complex question, before paraphrasing; 
"question": The natural language complex question; 
"sparql": Freebase SPARQL query for the question. Note that the SPARQL was constructed for the machine question, the actual question after paraphrasing
may differ from the SPARQL. 
"compositionality_type": An estimation of the type of compositionally. {composition, conjunction, comparative, superlative}. The estimation has not been manually verified,
 the question after paraphrasing may differ from this estimation.
"answers": a list of answers each containing answer: the actual answer; answer_id: the Freebase answer id; aliases: freebase extracted aliases for the answer.
"created": creation time
