### Dataset Summary

***Xtr-WikiQA*** is an Answer Sentence Selection (AS2) dataset in 9 non-English languages, proposed in our paper accepted at ACL 2023 (Findings): [**Cross-Lingual Knowledge Distillation for Answer Sentence Selection in Low-Resource Languages**](https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-acl.885/).
This dataset is based on an English AS2 dataset, WikiQA ([Original](https://msropendata.com/datasets/21032bb1-88bd-4656-9570-3172ae1757f0), [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wiki_qa)).
For translations, we used [Amazon Translate](https://aws.amazon.com/translate/).

### Languages

- Arabic (ar)
- Spanish (es)
- French (fr)
- German (de)
- Hindi (hi)
- Italian (it)
- Japanese (ja)
- Dutch (nl)
- Portuguese (pt)

File location: [`tsv/`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AmazonScience/xtr-wiki_qa/tree/main/tsv)

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

This is an example instance from the Arabic training split of Xtr-WikiQA dataset. 

```
{
  "QuestionID": "Q1",
  "Question": "كيف تتشكل الكهوف الجليدية؟",
  "DocumentID": "D1",
  "DocumentTitle": "كهف جليدي",
  "SentenceID": "D1-0",
  "Sentence": "كهف جليدي مغمور جزئيًا على نهر بيريتو مورينو الجليدي.",
  "Label": 0
}
```

All the translated instances in tsv files are listed in the same order of the original (native) instances in the WikiQA dataset.

For example, the 2nd instance in [`tsv/ar-train.tsv`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AmazonScience/xtr-wiki_qa/blob/main/tsv/ar-train.tsv) (Arabic-translated from English)
corresponds to the 2nd instance in [`WikiQA-train.tsv`](https://msropendata.com/datasets/21032bb1-88bd-4656-9570-3172ae1757f0) (English).

### Data Fields

Each instance (a QA pair) consists of the following fields:

- `QuestionID`: Question ID (str)
- `Question`: Question to be answered (str)
- `DocumentID`: Document ID (str)
- `DocumentTitle`: Document title (str)
- `SentenceID`: Answer sentence in the document (str)
- `Sentence`: Answer sentence in the document (str)
- `Label`: Label that indicates the answer sentence correctly answers the question (int, 1: correct, 0: incorrect)


### Data Splits

|                   |             | **#Questions** |          |   |           | **#Sentences** |          |
|-------------------|------------:|---------------:|---------:|---|----------:|---------------:|---------:|
|                   |   **train** |        **dev** | **test** |   | **train** |        **dev** | **test** |
| **Each language** |         873 |            126 |      243 |   |     8,671 |          1,130 |    2,351 |
