BioASQ (Biomedical Semantic Indexing and Question Answering)

Introduced in An overview of the BIOASQ large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering competition1 Jan 2015 archive 2025-07-28

BioASQ is a question answering dataset. Instances in the BioASQ dataset are composed of a question (Q), human-annotated answers (A), and the relevant contexts (C) (also called snippets).

Papers archive 2025-07-28

4 shown of 4 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 192. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
