+ # Quora Question Pairs Release Terms
2
+
3
+ The Quora Question Pairs dataset was released by Quora in January 2017 alongside
4
+ the Kaggle competition of the same name. It was not formally placed under a
5
+ Creative Commons or other standard open-source license; instead, Quora granted a
6
+ non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the dataset for research and
7
+ educational purposes, with attribution.
8
+
9
+ ## What you can do
10
+
11
+ - Use the dataset for research, experimentation, and benchmarking.
12
+ - Train and evaluate models on it (sentence embedders, duplicate-question
13
+ detectors, paraphrase classifiers).
14
+ - Redistribute the dataset itself in unmodified form for research use, with
15
+ attribution back to Quora.
16
+
17
+ ## What you should still do
18
+
19
+ - **Attribute Quora** as the source of the dataset whenever it is used,
20
+ redistributed, or referenced in published work — including paper citations,
21
+ blog posts, and downstream dataset cards.
22
+ - **Treat commercial deployment as a separate question.** The 2017 release
23
+ predates Quora's current Terms of Service and was framed around research /
24
+ Kaggle participation; if a commercial product depends on this corpus, confirm
25
+ rights independently rather than relying on the original blog-post language.
26
+ - **Do not redistribute user-identifying metadata.** The release strips Quora
27
+ user ids; downstream republications should not attempt to re-attach them.
28
+
29
+ ## Background
