## Dataset Description
The dataset contains simple, long-form answers to questions and corresponding contexts.
Similar to ELI5 but with context.
This dataset is a filtered version of [LLukas22/lfqa_preprocessed](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LLukas22/lfqa_preprocessed),
which in turn is a processed and simplified version of of [vblagoje's](https://huggingface.co/vblagoje) *[lfqa_support_docs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/vblagoje/lfqa_support_docs)* and *[lfqa](https://huggingface.co/datasets/vblagoje/lfqa)* datasets.
I have filtered out overly long answers, based on the number of tokens in the answer using the LED tokenizer.
It can be reproduced with the notebook `process-lfqa-dataset.ipynb`.

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```json
{
"question": "what's the difference between a forest and a wood?",
"answer": "They're used interchangeably a lot. You'll get different answers from different resources, but the ...",
"context": [
"Wood is divided, according to its botanical origin, into two kinds: softwoods, ...",
"Processing and products differs especially with regard to the distinction between softwood and hardwood ..."
]
}
```
### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `answer`: a `string` feature.
- `context`: a list feature containing `string` features.
### Licensing Information
This dataset is distributed under the MIT licence.
