# Dataset Card for Simple SQuAD

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
This is a simplified version of SQuAD v1 dataset.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
The modifications made the original SQuAD v1 dataset:
* Extract only the needed columns to train a seq2seq model (context, question and answer)
* Preprocess the text to have only English letters and some basic punctuation marks.
* Punctuation marks are separated from the adjacent words (i.e: hello! -> hello !)
* Remove context length greater than 175 tokens (this removes around 20% of the original dataset)
* Remove questions and answers longer than 30 tokens (this removes around 140 examples from the original dataset)
* Add three additional columns to show the word count for each context, question and answer
