### Dataset Summary

ASNQ is a dataset for answer sentence selection derived from
Google's Natural Questions (NQ) dataset (Kwiatkowski et al. 2019).

Each example contains a question, candidate sentence, label indicating whether or not
the sentence answers the question, and two additional features --
sentence_in_long_answer and short_answer_in_sentence indicating whether ot not the
candidate sentence is contained in the long_answer and if the short_answer is in the candidate sentence.

## Dataset Structure

We show detailed information for up to 5 configurations of the dataset.

### Data Instances

#### default

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 3398.76 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 3647.70 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 7046.46 MB

An example of 'validation' looks as follows.
```
{
    "label": 0,
    "question": "when did somewhere over the rainbow come out",
    "sentence": "In films and TV shows ( edit ) In the film Third Finger , Left Hand ( 1940 ) with Myrna Loy , Melvyn Douglas , and Raymond Walburn , the tune played throughout the film in short sequences .",
    "sentence_in_long_answer": false,
    "short_answer_in_sentence": false
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### default
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `sentence`: a `string` feature.
- `label`: a classification label, with possible values including `neg` (0), `pos` (1).
- `sentence_in_long_answer`: a `bool` feature.
- `short_answer_in_sentence`: a `bool` feature.
