QASPER is a dataset for question answering on scientific research papers. It consists of 5,049 questions over 1,585 Natural Language Processing papers. Each question is written by an NLP practitioner who read only the title and abstract of the corresponding paper, and the question seeks information present in the full text. The questions are then answered by a separate set of NLP practitioners who also provide supporting evidence to answers.

QuALITY (Question Answering with Long Input Texts, Yes!) is a multiple-choice question answering dataset for long document comprehension. The dataset consists of context passages in English that have an average length of about 5,000 tokens, much longer than typical current models can process. Unlike in prior work with passages, the questions are written and validated by contributors who have read the entire passage, rather than relying on summaries or excerpts.

Over a period of many years during the 1990s, a large group of psychologists all over the world collected data in the ISEAR project, directed by Klaus R. Scherer and Harald Wallbott. Student respondents, both psychologists and non-psychologists, were asked to report situations in which they had experienced all of 7 major emotions (joy, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, shame, and guilt). In each case, the questions covered the way they had appraised the situation and how they reacted. The final data set thus contained reports on seven emotions each by close to 3000 respondents in 37 countries on all 5 continents.

NomBank is an annotation project at New York University that is related to the PropBank project at the University of Colorado. The goal is to mark the sets of arguments that cooccur with nouns in the PropBank Corpus (the Wall Street Journal Corpus of the Penn Treebank), just as PropBank records such information for verbs. As a side effect of the annotation process, the authors are producing a number of other resources including various dictionaries, as well as PropBank style lexical entries called frame files. These resources help the user label the various arguments and adjuncts of the head nouns with roles (sets of argument labels for each sense of each noun). NYU and U of Colorado are making a coordinated effort to insure that, when possible, role definitions are consistent across parts of speech. For example, PropBank's frame file for the verb "decide" was used in the annotation of the noun "decision".
Probably Asked Questions (PAQ) is a very large resource of 65M automatically-generated QA-pairs. PAQ is a semi-structured Knowledge Base (KB) of 65M natural language QA-pairs, which models can memorise and/or learn to retrieve from. PAQ differs from traditional KBs in that questions and answers are stored in natural language, and that questions are generated such that they are likely to appear in ODQA datasets. PAQ is automatically constructed using a question generation model and Wikipedia.

ACE 2004 Multilingual Training Corpus contains the complete set of English, Arabic and Chinese training data for the 2004 Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) technology evaluation. The corpus consists of data of various types annotated for entities and relations and was created by Linguistic Data Consortium with support from the ACE Program, with additional assistance from the DARPA TIDES (Translingual Information Detection, Extraction and Summarization) Program. The objective of the ACE program is to develop automatic content extraction technology to support automatic processing of human language in text form. In September 2004, sites were evaluated on system performance in six areas: Entity Detection and Recognition (EDR), Entity Mention Detection (EMD), EDR Co-reference, Relation Detection and Recognition (RDR), Relation Mention Detection (RMD), and RDR given reference entities. All tasks were evaluated in three languages: English, Chinese and Arabic.

Social Interaction QA (SIQA) is a question-answering benchmark for testing social commonsense intelligence. Contrary to many prior benchmarks that focus on physical or taxonomic knowledge, Social IQa focuses on reasoning about people’s actions and their social implications. For example, given an action like "Jesse saw a concert" and a question like "Why did Jesse do this?", humans can easily infer that Jesse wanted "to see their favorite performer" or "to enjoy the music", and not "to see what's happening inside" or "to see if it works". The actions in Social IQa span a wide variety of social situations, and answer candidates contain both human-curated answers and adversarially-filtered machine-generated candidates. Social IQa contains over 37,000 QA pairs for evaluating models’ abilities to reason about the social implications of everyday events and situations.
Ubuntu Dialogue Corpus (UDC) is a dataset containing almost 1 million multi-turn dialogues, with a total of over 7 million utterances and 100 million words. This provides a unique resource for research into building dialogue managers based on neural language models that can make use of large amounts of unlabeled data. The dataset has both the multi-turn property of conversations in the Dialog State Tracking Challenge datasets, and the unstructured nature of interactions from microblog services such as Twitter.

The Shifts Dataset is a dataset for evaluation of uncertainty estimates and robustness to distributional shift. The dataset, which has been collected from industrial sources and services, is composed of three tasks, with each corresponding to a particular data modality: tabular weather prediction, machine translation, and self-driving car (SDC) vehicle motion prediction. All of these data modalities and tasks are affected by real, `in-the-wild' distributional shifts and pose interesting challenges with respect to uncertainty estimation.
