Abstract

We report on a progressing work for compiling Quora Question Answer dataset. Quora dataset is composed of questions which are posed in Quora Question Answering site. It is the only dataset which provides sentence-level and word-level answers at the same time. Moreover, the questions in the dataset are authentic which is much more realistic for Question Answering systems. We test the performance of a state-of-the-art Question Answering system on the dataset and compare it with human performance to establish an upper bound.
