clustered_MEDQUAD_dataset_with_groups

MedQuAD (Medical Question Answering Dataset) is a collection of 16,407 medical question-answer pairs derived from 9 NIH websites. It covers 37 question types related to diseases, drugs, medical tests, and treatments. This dataset is useful for building medical question-answering models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and other NLP applications in the healthcare domain.

Dataset Structure

The dataset is stored in CSV format with the following columns:

Column Name	Description
text	A formatted string that includes both the question and answer.
query	The question asked.
answers	The corresponding answer.
topic_embeddings	Placeholder for clustering or topic embeddings. (Default: -1)
group_name	The medical category of the question-answer pair.
