QB2NQ: Quiz Bowl to Natural Questions

Dataset Description

QB2NQ is a dataset of natural questions generated from Quiz Bowl (QB) questions by applying heuristic transformations to convert quiz bowl clues into natural language questions.

Dataset Structure

Each example contains:

id: Unique identifier
qanta_id: Original QB question ID
question: Transformed natural language question
answer: Correct answer
answer_type: Canonical answer type (e.g., "character", "composer")
context: Original QB sentence before transformation
transformations: List of heuristics applied (SplitConjunction, ImperativeToInterrogative, NoWhWords)

Splits

Split	Examples
Train	~80%
Validation	~10%
Test	~10%

Heuristics Applied

SplitConjunction: Splits sentences joined by coordinating conjunctions
ImperativeToInterrogative: Converts FTP/points patterns to questions
NoWhWords: Reformulates statements without wh-words into questions

Example

{
    "question": "Which character is native of Rokovoko and savage companion of Ishmael in Moby - Dick?",
    "answer": "Queequeg",
    "answer_type": "character",
    "context": "For 10 points, name this native of Rokovoko and savage companion of Ishmael in Moby-Dick.",
    "transformations": ["ImperativeToInterrogative"]
}

    abstract = "Training question-answering QA and information retrieval systems for web queries require large, expensive datasets that are difficult to annotate and time-consuming to gather. Moreover, while natural datasets of information-seeking questions are often prone to ambiguity or ill-formed, there are troves of freely available, carefully crafted question datasets for many languages. Thus, we automatically generate shorter, information-seeking questions, resembling web queries in the style of the Natural Questions (NQ) dataset from longer trivia data. Training a QA system on these transformed questions is a viable strategy for alternating to more expensive training setups showing the F1 score difference of less than six points and contrasting the final systems."
