HEAD-QA is a multi-choice HEAlthcare Dataset. The questions come from exams to access a specialized position in the
Spanish healthcare system, and are challenging even for highly specialized humans. They are designed by the Ministerio
de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social.
The dataset contains questions about the following topics: medicine, nursing, psychology, chemistry, pharmacology and biology.

    abstract = "We present HEAD-QA, a multi-choice question answering testbed to encourage research on complex reasoning. The questions come from exams to access a specialized position in the Spanish healthcare system, and are challenging even for highly specialized humans. We then consider monolingual (Spanish) and cross-lingual (to English) experiments with information retrieval and neural techniques. We show that: (i) HEAD-QA challenges current methods, and (ii) the results lag well behind human performance, demonstrating its usefulness as a benchmark for future work.",
