### Dataset Summary
CoQCat is a dataset for Conversational Question Answering in Catalan. It is based on [CoQA dataset](https://stanfordnlp.github.io/coqa/).
CoQCat comprises 89,364 question-answer pairs, sourced from conversations related to 6,000 text passages from six different domains.
The questions and responses are designed to maintain a conversational tone.
The answers are presented in a free-form text format, with evidence highlighted from the passage.
For the development and test sets, an additional 2 responses to each question have been collected.
This work is licensed under a [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.en_GB).
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
Conversational models, question answering.
### Languages
The dataset is in Catalan (ca-ES).
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
Three JSON files, one for each split.
An example of 'test' looks as follows:

Tot això és culpa del club de ‘singles', els desaparellats desesperats per trobar algú que ens escolti una mica, mentre calculem les possibilitats de fotre un clau”. Pensant tot això es va descomptar i anava a contratemps, un altre cop.\nHo acaba de decidir: sortint de la classe es donarà de baixa. Sí, serà millor oblidar els ‘singles' i dedicar els caps de setmana que no tingui les nenes a fer sortides amb el seu germà, els nebots són més grans que les seves filles i ja fan bones excursions.\nUn cop dutxat s'apropà al mostrador de l'entrada. El noi el va fer passar a l'oficina per omplir el full de baixa. Dins, una veu el va cridar: “Txume?”. Es girà estranyat ja que li deien així només a l'institut, després va ser el Jaume. Va mirar la dona que li somreia.:\n-“Estàs igual que fa vint-i-cinc anys! Has fet un pacte amb el diable?”\n-“… Alba?? Ets l'Alba?”- la seva cara li recordava a la de la noia grassoneta de la classe, però ara no ho estava pas de grassa! -“Tu sí que hi has pactat! Estàs molt millor… bé, vull dir que…”\n-“Sí, em vaig posar les piles.”\n-“Segueixes escrivint relats? Recordo que a tots ens agradaven les històries de l'Alba.”\n-“Doncs encara ho faig, just ara en plegar vaig a una sessió literària musical. Si vols venir, podem recordar batalletes.”\nS'hi apuntà. Van xerrar, van riure, van escoltar relats i poemes, van reviure les aventures de l'institut amb música de jazz de fons, … Hi estava a gust, i s'adonà que, per primer cop en molt temps, no avaluava les possibilitats d'acabar prenent la darrera copa a casa seva.",

## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
We created this dataset to contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.
### Source Data
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
We obtained the initial text passages from different sources, depending on the domain:
| domain | source | train | dev | test | total |
|:-|:-|-:|-:|-:|-:|
| biographies | [Catalan wikipedia](ca.wikipedia.org) | 1200 | 150 | 100 | 1450|
| literature | [Gutenberg Project](gutenberg.org/) | 1200 | 150 | 100 | 1450|
| news | [VilaWeb](vilaweb.cat) | 1200 | 150 | 100 | 1450|
| mitology | Catalan wikipedia | 1200 | 150 | 100 | 1450|
| short histories | [Petites històries](https://petiteshistories.wordpress.com/) | 0 | 0 | 100 | 100|
| movie plots | Catalan wikipedia | 0 | 0 | 100 | 100 |
| TOTAL | | 4800 | 600 | 600 | 6000 |
#### Who are the source language producers?
The contents of [Catalan Wikipedia](ca.wikipedia.org) are developed by a team of volunteers, and are subject to review processes also carried out by volunteers.
The texts from [VilaWeb](vilaweb.cat) are prepared by journalists and communication professionals, and edited by expert proofreaders.
The paragraphes extracted from the [Gutenberg Project](gutenberg.org/) are written by diferent Catalan authors.
The texts of the [Petites històries website](https://petiteshistories.wordpress.com/) are written by the writer M. Carme Marí and published on her website. The author has provided them for the preparation of this dataset.
### Annotations
#### Annotation process
The annotation process was entrusted to the company [M47 labs](https://www.m47labs.com/) through a public tender process.
We asked to organize the annotators team in pairs: one of the members asking questions from the text passage and the other one answering them. For the elaboration of addicional answers for the dev and test splits, we asked the participation of a third person, not involved in the original conversation.
Annotation guidelines can be found in [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/records/10362295).
#### Who are the annotators?
Annotation was entrusted to the company [M47 labs](https://www.m47labs.com/) through a public tender process.
We asked for a team of at least 4 annotators, students or graduates of universities, ideally in the field of Humanities or Social Sciences, with optimal demonstrable knowledge of the Catalan language (minimum level C1, or equivalent), and a senior coordinator with proven experience in management and coordination of text annotation.
### Personal and Sensitive Information
No personal or sensitive information included.
## Considerations for Using the Data
### Social Impact of Dataset
We hope that this dataset will help the development of virtual assistants in Catalan, a language that is often not taken into account.
