About this dataset

8 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from 1725952345 neurology dementia, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include dementia, cognitive decline, depression, delirium, functional decline, probable ad, mixed dementia, lab investigation. 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: 3 list, 2 definition, 2 factual, 1 summary. 6 of the 8 pairs (75.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 2 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
