boolq

**BoolQ (Boolean Questions)** is a **question answering dataset included in SuperGLUE, consisting of naturally occurring Yes/No questions derived from Google Search queries** — unlike artificial questions, BoolQ queries are often ambiguous or unstated, requiring the model to infer the answer from a paired Wikipedia passage. **Characteristics** - **Source**: Real user queries "Is the knicks game on tv tonight?" - **Context**: A Wikipedia paragraph that may or may not explicitly contain the answer. - **Difficulty**: Often requires implicit reasoning. "Does France have a king?" (Passage: France is a Republic... implies No). **Why It Matters** - **Realism**: Tests the ability to answer the most common type of human query (verification). - **Inference**: The answer is rarely a simple span extraction ("Yes" or "No" is not in the text). - **SuperGLUE**: A core component of the SuperGLUE benchmark for difficult NLU. **BoolQ** is **yes or no?** — testing whether models can determine the truth value of a statement based on evidence text.
