QA-KPWr

Polish extractive question answering dataset built on passages from the Polish Corpus of Wrocław University of Technology (Korpus Języka Polskiego Politechniki Wrocławskiej, KPWr). Each example pairs a question with a context paragraph drawn from KPWr, optional answer spans, and flags indicating whether the question is a paraphrase of another item and whether it is unanswerable from the provided context.

Dataset summary

Split	Examples
train	7,563
validation	1,878

Language: Polish (pl)
Task: Extractive question answering (SQuAD 2.0-style, with unanswerable questions)
Domain: KPWr - mixed-domain, mixed-genre Polish texts
Format: One row per (question, context) pair

Features

Field	Type	Notes
`question`	`string`	Question text in Polish
`context`	`string`	KPWr passage that may contain the answer
`answers`	`{answer_start: int[], answer_end: int[], text: str[]}`	Character-level answer span(s); `null` when `is_impossible` is true
`is_impossible`	`bool`	`true` if the question cannot be answered from `context`
`is_paraphrase`	`bool`	`true` if the item is a paraphrase of another question for the same context
`dataset`	`string`	Source identifier (`KPWR`)
`context_id`	`int64`	Identifier shared by all questions on the same context

Loading

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("expansio/qa-kpwr")
print(ds)
print(ds["train"][0])

Evaluation

The dataset is evaluated with the SQuAD 2.0 metric family:

exact / f1 — overall scores
HasAns_exact / HasAns_f1 — restricted to answerable questions
NoAns_f1 — accuracy on questions flagged as unanswerable
