+## Dataset Description
+
+The dataset contains simple, long-form answers to questions and corresponding contexts.
+Similar to ELI5 but with context.
+
+This dataset is a filtered version of [LLukas22/lfqa_preprocessed](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LLukas22/lfqa_preprocessed),
+which in turn is a processed and simplified version of of [vblagoje's](https://huggingface.co/vblagoje) *[lfqa_support_docs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/vblagoje/lfqa_support_docs)* and *[lfqa](https://huggingface.co/datasets/vblagoje/lfqa)* datasets.
+
+This dataset (stefanbschneider/lfqa_preprocessed) has filtered out overly long answers, based on the number of tokens in the answer using the LED tokenizer.
+It can be reproduced with the notebook `process-lfqa-dataset.ipynb`.

+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+An example of 'train' looks as follows.
+
+```json
+{
+    "question": "what's the difference between a forest and a wood?",
+    "answer": "They're used interchangeably a lot. You'll get different answers from different resources, but the ...",
+    "context": [
+        "Wood is divided, according to its botanical origin, into two kinds: softwoods, ...",
+        "Processing and products differs especially with regard to the distinction between softwood and hardwood ..."
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Data Fields
+
+The data fields are the same among all splits.
+
+- `question`: a `string` feature.
+- `answer`: a `string` feature.
+- `context`: a list feature containing `string` features.
