About this dataset

15 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Standard Treatment Workflow on Paediatric Osteoarticular Tuberculosis, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include standard treatment workflow (stw), paediatric osteoarticular tuberculosis, national tb elimination programme, dactylitis, arthritis, x-ray, fnac, naat. 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: 8 definition, 5 list, 2 factual. 13 of the 15 pairs (86.7%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 2 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
