luheng/qa_srl

The dataset contains question-answer pairs to model verbal predicate-argument structure. The questions start with wh-words (Who, What, Where, What, etc.) and contain a verb predicate in the sentence; the answers are phrases in the sentence. There were 2 datsets used in the paper, newswire and wikipedia. Unfortunately the newswiredataset is built from CoNLL-2009 English training set that is covered under license Thus, we are providing only Wikipedia training set here. Please check README.md for more details on newswire dataset. For the Wikipedia domain, randomly sampled sentences from the English Wikipedia (excluding questions and sentences with fewer than 10 or more than 60 words) were taken. This new dataset is designed to solve this great NLP task and is crafted with a lot of care.

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

we model predicate-argument structure of a sentence with a set of question-answer pairs. our method allows practical large-scale annotation of training data. We focus on semantic rather than syntactic annotation, and introduce a scalable method for gathering data that allows both training and evaluation.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

We use question-answer pairs to model verbal predicate-argument structure. The questions start with wh-words (Who, What, Where, What, etc.) and contains a verb predicate in the sentence; the answers are phrases in the sentence. For example:

UCD finished the 2006 championship as Dublin champions , by beating St Vincents in the final .

PredicateQuestionAnswer
FinishedWho finished something?UCD
FinishedWhat did someone finish?the 2006 championship
FinishedWhat did someone finish something as?Dublin champions
FinishedHow did someone finish something?by beating St Vincents in the final
beatingWho beat someone?UCD
beatingWhen did someone beat someone?in the final
beatingWho did someone beat?St Vincents

Data Fields

Annotations provided are as follows:

  • sentence: contains tokenized sentence
  • sent_id: is the sentence identifier
  • predicate_idx:the index of the predicate (its position in the sentence)
  • predicate: the predicate token
  • question: contains the question which is a list of tokens. The question always consists of seven slots, as defined in the paper. The empty slots are represented with a marker “_”. The question ends with question mark.
  • answer: list of answers to the question

Please note This dataset only has wikipedia data. Newswire dataset needs CoNLL-2009 English training data to get the complete data. This training data is under license. Thus, newswire dataset is not included in this data.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

We annotated over 3000 sentences (nearly 8,000 verbs) in total across two domains: newswire (PropBank) and Wikipedia.

Annotations

Annotation process

non-expert annotators were given a short tutorial and a small set of sample annotations (about 10 sentences). Annotators were hired if they showed good understanding of English and the task. The entire screening process usually took less than 2 hours.

Who are the annotators?

10 part-time, non-exper annotators from Upwork (Previously oDesk)
