PubMedQA

Introduced by Qiao Jin et al. in PubMedQA: A Dataset for Biomedical Research Question Answering13 Sep 2019 archive 2025-07-28

The task of PubMedQA is to answer research questions with yes/no/maybe (e.g.: Do preoperative statins reduce atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting?) using the corresponding abstracts.

PubMedQA has 1k expert labeled, 61.2k unlabeled and 211.3k artificially generated QA instances.

17 shown of 17 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 276. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
