77 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Guidance Manual for Antimicrobial Resistance Data Entry and Reporting NCDC-2021, published by ncdc.mohfw.gov.in. The source is a 50-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include antimicrobial resistance (amr), whonet, national amr surveillance network (nars-net), antibiotic susceptibility (ast), laboratory information management system (lims), priority bacterial pathogens, data entry, data reporting. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 46 factual, 14 relationship, 6 definition, 6 list, 5 summary. 31 of the 77 pairs (40.3%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 46 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 77 extractive question-and-answer pairs based on the 'Guidance Manual for Antimicrobial Resistance Data Entry and Reporting NCDC-2021.'
