Files

  • documents.csv - contains document_id, set, kind, story_url, story_file_size, wiki_url, wiki_title, story_word_count, story_start, story_end. The word count is approximate after some basic cleanup and tokenization.
  • third_party/wikipedia/summaries.csv - contains document_id, set, summary, summary_tokenized. The summaries are from Wikipedia.
  • qaps.csv - contains document_id, set, question, answer1, answer2, question_tokenized, answer1_tokenized, answer2_tokenized.
  • download_stories.sh - script to download the stories.
  • compare.sh - compare downloaded story's file size to the document size we had. (At the time of publication, all stories have <3.5% file difference (except one), likely due to punctuation encoding.)
