Google's query wellformedness dataset was created by crowdsourcing well-formedness annotations for 25,100 queries from the Paralex corpus. Every query was annotated by five raters each with 1/0 rating of whether or not the query is well-formed. For further details please read our paper: Identifying Well-formed Natural Language Questions
For each query we provide the average of the 5 binary judgements as the wellformedness score for the query. Following are some examples of queries present in the dataset:
| Query | Wellformedness rating |
|---|---|
| Which form of government is still in place in greece ? | 1.0 |
| Population of owls just in north america ? | 0.0 |
| Is johnny depp a celtic fan ? | 0.8 |
| Where did Roald Dahl live in his teenaged years ? | 0.6 |
The dataset is divided into three files: train.tsv, dev.tsv and test.tsv each containing rated queries. The size of the files is as follows:
| File | No. of queries |
|---|---|
| train.tsv | 17,500 |
| dev.tsv | 3,750 |
| test.tsv | 3,850 |
The examples in each file are tab separated containing the following columns:
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| 1 | The European Union includes how many ? |
| 2 | 0.2 |
