Abstract
This article presents the Kurdish News Question Answering Dataset (KNQAD). The texts are collected from various Kurdish news websites. The ParsHub software is used to extract data from different fields of news, such as social news, religion, sports, science, and economy. The dataset consists of 15,002 news paragraphs with question-answer pairs. For each news paragraph, one or more question-answer pairs are manually created based on the content of the paragraphs. The dataset is pre-processed by cleaning and normalizing the data. During the cleaning process, special characters and stop words are removed, and stemming is used as a normalization step. The distribution of each question type is presented in the KNQAD. Moreover, the complexity of the QA problem is analyzed in the KNQAD by using lexical similarity techniques between questions and answers.
期刊介绍：
Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
