# PathVQA

PathVQA is a dataset of question-answer pairs on pathology images. The questions are similar to those in the
American Board of Pathology (ABP) test. The dataset includes both open-ended questions and binary "yes/no"
questions. The dataset is built from two publicly-available pathology textbooks: "Textbook of Pathology" and
"Basic Pathology", and a publicly-available digital library: "Pathology Education Informational Resource"
(PEIR). The copyrights of images and captions belong to the publishers and authors of these two books,
and the owners of the PEIR digital library.
