| ### Dataset Summary | |
| The SciQ dataset contains 13,679 crowdsourced science exam questions about Physics, Chemistry and Biology, among others. The questions are in multiple-choice format with 4 answer options each. For the majority of the questions, an additional paragraph with supporting evidence for the correct answer is provided. | |
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |

| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |

| - **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 2.82 MB | |
| - **Size of the generated dataset:** 7.68 MB | |
| - **Total amount of disk used:** 10.50 MB | |
| An example of 'train' looks as follows. | |
| ``` | |
| This example was too long and was cropped: | |
| { | |
| "correct_answer": "coriolis effect", | |
| "distractor1": "muon effect", | |
| "distractor2": "centrifugal effect", | |
| "distractor3": "tropical effect", | |
| "question": "What phenomenon makes global winds blow northeast to southwest or the reverse in the northern hemisphere and northwest to southeast or the reverse in the southern hemisphere?", | |
| "support": "\"Without Coriolis Effect the global winds would blow north to south or south to north. But Coriolis makes them blow northeast to..." | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| The data fields are the same among all splits. | |
| #### default | |
| - `question`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `distractor3`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `distractor1`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `distractor2`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `correct_answer`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `support`: a `string` feature. | |
