Dataset for the First Evaluation on Chinese Machine Reading Comprehension

Understand

Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) has become enormously popular recently and has attracted a lot of attention.

• However, existing reading comprehension datasets are mostly in English.
• To add diversity in reading comprehension datasets, in this paper we propose a new Chinese reading comprehension dataset for accelerating related research in the community.
• The proposed dataset contains two different types: cloze-style reading comprehension and user query reading comprehension, associated with large-scale training data as well as human-annotated validation and hidden test set.
