    Load the SimpleQuestions dataset.

    Single-relation factoid questions (simple questions) are common in many settings
    (e.g. Microsoft’s search query logs and WikiAnswers questions). The SimpleQuestions dataset is
    one of the most commonly used benchmarks for studying single-relation factoid questions.

    **Reference:**

    Args:
        directory (str, optional): Directory to cache the dataset.
        train (bool, optional): If to load the training split of the dataset.
        dev (bool, optional): If to load the development split of the dataset.
        test (bool, optional): If to load the test split of the dataset.
        extracted_name (str, optional): Name of the extracted dataset directory.
        train_filename (str, optional): The filename of the training split.
        dev_filename (str, optional): The filename of the development split.
        test_filename (str, optional): The filename of the test split.
        check_files (str, optional): Check if these files exist, then this download was successful.
        url (str, optional): URL of the dataset `tar.gz` file.

    Returns:
        :class:`tuple` of :class:`torchnlp.datasets.Dataset` or :class:`torchnlp.datasets.Dataset`:
        Returns between one and all dataset splits (train, dev and test) depending on if their
        respective boolean argument is ``True``.
