The Stanford Question Answering Dataset

Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) is a reading comprehension dataset, consisting of questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to every question is a segment of text, or span, from the corresponding reading passage, or the question might be unanswerable. To do well on SQuAD2.0, SQuAD2.0 is a challenging natural language understanding task for existing models, and we release SQuAD2.0 to the community as the successor to SQuAD1.1. We are optimistic that this new dataset will encourage the development of reading comprehension systems that know what they don't know. SQuAD 1.1, the previous version of the SQuAD dataset, contains 100,000 question-answer pairs on 500 articles.
