MNLP M3 MCQA Dataset
The MNLP M3 MCQA Dataset is a carefully curated collection of Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) examples, unified from several academic and benchmark datasets.
Developed as part of the CS-552: Modern NLP course at EPFL (Spring 2025), this dataset is designed for training and evaluating models on multiple-choice QA tasks, particularly in the STEM and general knowledge domains.
Key Features
- ~30,000 MCQA questions
- 6 diverse sources:
SciQ,OpenBookQA,MathQA,ARC-Easy,ARC-Challenge, andMedMCQA - Each question has exactly 4 options (A–D) and one correct answer
- Covers a wide range of topics: science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and general knowledge
Dataset Structure
Each example is a dictionary with the following fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
dataset |
string |
Source dataset (sciq, openbookqa, etc.) |
id |
string |
Unique identifier for the question |
question |
string |

choices |
list |
List of 4 answer options (corresponding to A–D) |
answer |
string |
The correct option, as a letter: "A", "B", "C", or "D" |
support |
string |
A brief explanation or fact supporting the correct answer when available |
Example:
```json

"question": "What does a seismograph measure?",
"choices": ["Earthquakes", "Rainfall", "Sunlight", "Temperature"],
"answer": "A",
"support": "A seismograph is an instrument that detects and records earthquakes."
}

allenai/openbookqa |
OpenBookQA | 4,957 | Science exam-style questions requiring multi-step reasoning and use of commonsense or external knowledge. Contributes more challenging and inference-based questions. |
allenai/math_qa |
MathQA | 5,000 | Subsample of quantitative math word problems derived from AQuA-RAT, annotated with structured answer options. Introduces numerical reasoning and problem-solving components into the dataset. |
allenai/ai2_arc (config: ARC-Easy) |
ARC-Easy | 2,140 | Science questions at the middle school level. Useful for testing basic STEM understanding and factual recall. Filtered to retain only valid 4-choice entries. |
allenai/ai2_arc (config: ARC-Challenge) |
ARC-Challenge | 1,094 | More difficult science questions requiring reasoning and inference. Widely used as a benchmark for evaluating LLMs. Also filtered for clean MCQA format compatibility. |
openlifescienceai/medmcqa |
MedMCQA | 5,000 | A subsample of multiple-choice questions on medical topics from various exams, filtered for a single-choice format. Contains real-world and domain-specific clinical reasoning questions covering various medical disciplines. |
Intended Applications and Structure
This dataset is split into three parts:
train(~85%) — for training MCQA modelsvalidation(~15%) — for tuning and monitoring performance during training
It is suitable for multiple-choice question answering tasks, especially in the STEM domain (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
