Identifying Duplicate Questions |
Background and summary: This dataset was published by Quora for the purpose of solving the problem of
identifying duplicate questions to simplify searching for answers to a question posed. As a simple example,
the queries “What is the most populous state in the USA?” and “Which state in the United States has the most
people?” should not exist separately on Quora because the intent behind both is identical. Having a canonical
page for each logically distinct query makes knowledge-sharing more efficient, so that knowledge seekers can
access all the answers to a question in a single location. Goal: Given a sentence pair, identify if the sentences are semantically equivalent - that is, if the sentences are duplicates. Input data: Over 400,00 lines of sentence pairs: 1. qid1, quid2: ID of question 1, 2 2. question1, question2: Text of each question 3. is_duplicate: Binary true/fase label indicating if the line is a duplicate pair Data can be found here: Duplicate Questions Relevant Research: Quora Paraphrase Detection Semantic Similarity Textual Entailment |
