Description
The dataset contains questions and answers over a text containing technical guidelines for disease surveillance in Malawi. For each question we mention the location in the text that applies. The dataset focuses on disease surveillance and can be used for tasks relevant to hierarchical text classification, machine learning, information retrieval, QA from texts and structured data, multi-document summarization and many other areas. Additionally the dataset can also be used in developing training materials and tests to be used as part of public health / community surveillance courses and degrees.
