## Dataset Description
- **Repository:** [Medical questions pairs repository](https://github.com/curai/medical-question-pair-dataset)
- **Paper:** [Effective Transfer Learning for Identifying Similar Questions:Matching User Questions to COVID-19 FAQs](https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.13546)

### Dataset Summary

This dataset consists of 3048 similar and dissimilar medical question pairs hand-generated and labeled by Curai's doctors. Doctors with a list of 1524 patient-asked questions randomly sampled from the publicly available crawl of [HealthTap](https://github.com/durakkerem/Medical-Question-Answer-Datasets). Each question results in one similar and one different pair through the following instructions provided to the labelers:

- Rewrite the original question in a different way while maintaining the same intent. Restructure the syntax as much as possible and change medical details that would not impact your response. e.g. "I'm a 22-y-o female" could become "My 26 year old daughter"
- Come up with a related but dissimilar question for which the answer to the original question would be WRONG OR IRRELEVANT. Use similar key words.

The first instruction generates a positive question pair (similar) and the second generates a negative question pair (different). With the above instructions,  the task was intentionally framed such that positive question pairs can look very different by superficial metrics, and negative question pairs can conversely look very similar. This ensures that the task is not trivial.


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

- `text-classification` : The dataset can be used to train a model to identify similar and non similar medical question pairs.

### Languages

The text in the dataset is in English.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

The dataset contains dr_id, question_1, question_2, label. 11 different doctors were used for this task so dr_id ranges from 1 to 11. The label is 1 if the question pair is similar and 0 otherwise.


### Data Fields

- `dr_id`: 11 different doctors were used for this task so dr_id ranges from 1 to 11
- `question_1`: Original Question
- `question_2`: Rewritten Question maintaining the same intent like Original Question
- `label`: The label is 1 if the question pair is similar and 0 otherwise.

### Data Splits

The dataset as of now consists of only one split(train) but can be split seperately based on the requirement

|                             | Tain   | 
| -----                       | ------ | 
| Non similar Question Pairs  | 1524   |
| Similar Question Pairs      | 1524   |

## Dataset Creation
Doctors with a list of 1524 patient-asked questions randomly sampled from the publicly available crawl of [HealthTap](https://github.com/durakkerem/Medical-Question-Answer-Datasets). Each question results in one similar and one different pair through the following instructions provided to the labelers:

The first instruction generates a positive question pair (similar) and the second generates a negative question pair (different). With the above instructions,  the task was intentionally framed such that positive question pairs can look very different by superficial metrics, and negative question pairs can conversely look very similar. This ensures that the task is not trivial.
