- NorMedQA is a benchmark dataset comprising 1,241 medical question-and-answer pairs in Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk). Designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on medical knowledge retrieval and reasoning within the Norwegian context, the dataset is structured in JSON format. Each entry includes the source document name, question number (where available), question text, and reference answer text. The content originates from publicly available sources containing medical exam questions and has undergone cleaning and preprocessing. NorMedQA is suitable for use within evaluation frameworks such as `lm-evaluation-harness`.
