### 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.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed]

### Languages

This dataset is in english language.

## 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 .`

Predicate | Question | Answer
---|---|---|
|Finished|Who finished something? |	UCD
|Finished|What did someone finish?|the 2006 championship
|Finished|What did someone finish something as?	|Dublin champions
|Finished|How did someone finish something?	|by beating St Vincents in the final
|beating | Who beat someone? | UCD
|beating|When did someone beat someone?	|in the final
|beating|Who 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
               

### Data Splits

Dataset | Sentences | Verbs | QAs
--- | --- | --- |---|

**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.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

[More Information Needed]

### 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. 
#### Who are the source language producers?

[More Information Needed]

### 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)

### Personal and Sensitive Information
