# 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 |
+
