HVU_QA

HVU_QA is an open-source Vietnamese Question–Context–Answer (QCA) corpus and supporting tools for building FAQ-style question generation systems in low-resource languages. The dataset was created using a fully automated pipeline that combines web crawling from trustworthy sources, semantic tag-based extraction, and AI-assisted filtering to ensure high factual accuracy.

📋 Dataset Description

• Language: Vietnamese
• Format: SQuAD-style JSON
• Total samples: 30,000 QCA triples (full corpus released)
• Domains covered: Social services, labor law, administrative processes, and other public service topics.
• Structure of each sample:
  • Question: Generated or extracted question
  • Context: Supporting text passage from which the answer is derived
  • Answer: Answer span within the context

⚙️ Creation Pipeline

The dataset was built using a 4-stage automated process:

1. Selecting relevant QA websites from trusted sources.
2. Automated data crawling to collect raw QA webpages.
3. Extraction via semantic tags to obtain clean Question–Context–Answer triples.
4. AI-assisted filtering to remove noisy or factually inconsistent samples.

📊 Quality Evaluation

A fine-tuned VietAI/vit5-base model trained on HVU_QA achieved:

Metric	Score
BLEU	90.61
Semantic similarity	97.0% (cos ≥ 0.8)
Human grammar score	4.58 / 5
Human usefulness score	4.29 / 5

These results confirm that HVU_QA is a high-quality resource for developing robust FAQ-style question generation models.

📁 Vietnamese Question Generation Tool

🛠️ Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• PyTorch >= 1.9
• Transformers >= 4.30
• scikit-learn

📦 Install Required Libraries

pip install datasets transformers sentencepiece safetensors accelerate evaluate sacrebleu rouge-score nltk scikit-learn

(Install PyTorch separately from pytorch.org if not installed yet.)

📥 Load Dataset from Hugging Face Hub

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("DANGDOCAO/GeneratingQuestions", split="train")
print(ds[0])

📚 Usage

• Train and evaluate a question generation model.
• Develop Vietnamese NLP tools.
• Conduct linguistic research.

🔹 Fine-tuning

python fine_tune_qg.py

This will:

1. Load the dataset from 30ktrain.json.
2. Fine-tune VietAI/vit5-base.
3. Save the trained model into t5-viet-qg-finetuned/.

(Or download the pre-trained model: t5-viet-qg-finetuned.)

🔹 Generating Questions

python generate_question.py

Example:

Input passage:
Cà phê sữa đá là một loại đồ uống nổi tiếng ở Việt Nam.
(Iced milk coffee is a famous drink in Vietnam.)

Number of questions: 5

Output:

1. Loại cà phê nào nổi tiếng ở Việt Nam?  
   (What type of coffee is famous in Vietnam?)  
2. Tại sao cà phê sữa đá lại phổ biến?  
   (Why is iced milk coffee popular?)  
3. Cà phê sữa đá bao gồm những nguyên liệu gì?  
   (What ingredients are included in iced milk coffee?)  
4. Cà phê sữa đá có nguồn gốc từ đâu?  
   (Where does iced milk coffee originate from?)  
5. Cà phê sữa đá Việt Nam được pha chế như thế nào?  
   (How is Vietnamese iced milk coffee prepared?)  

You can adjust in generate_question.py:

• top_k, top_p, temperature, no_repeat_ngram_size, repetition_penalty
