59
 
60
- This dataset contains 3111 contexts extracted from a set of 597 high quality original (no translations) articles in the Catalan Wikipedia "[Viquipèdia](https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portada)", and 1 to 5 questions with their answer for each fragment.

El reportatge fotogràfic implica més la idea de relat: un treball que vol més dedicació de temps, un esforç d'interpretació d'una situació i que culmina en un conjunt d'imatges. Això implica, d'una banda, la reivindicació del fotògraf per opinar, fet que li atorgarà estatus d'autor; l'autor proposa, doncs, una interpretació pròpia de la realitat. D'altra banda, el consens que s'estableix entre la majoria de fotògrafs és que el vehicle natural de la imatge fotogràfica és la pàgina impresa. Això suposà que revistes com Life, Paris-Match, Stern o Época assolissin la màxima esplendor en aquest període.",

  ## Dataset Creation
111
 
112
  ### Curation Rationale
113
 
114
- We hope this dataset contributes to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.
115
 
116
  ### Source Data
117
 
118
- - [Catalan Wikipedia](https://ca.wikipedia.org)
 
 
 
 
119
 
120
- #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
121
 
122
- The source data are scraped articles from the [Catalan wikipedia](https://ca.wikipedia.org) site.
123
-
124
- From a set of high quality, non-translation, articles inCA the Catalan Wikipedia, 597 were randomly chosen, and from them 3111, 5-8 sentence contexts were extracted. We commissioned creation of between 1 and 5 questions for each context, following an adaptation of the guidelines from SQuAD 1.0 ([Rajpurkar, Pranav et al. (2016)](http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05250)). In total, 15153 pairs of a question and an extracted fragment that contains the answer were created.
125
-
126
- For compatibility with similar datasets in other languages, we followed as close as possible existing curation guidelines.
127
-
128
- #### Who are the source language producers?
129
-
130
- Volunteers who collaborate with Catalan Wikipedia.
131
 
132
  ### Annotations

137
-
138
- #### Who are the annotators?
139
-
140
- Annotation was commissioned to an specialized company that hired a team of native language speakers.

  ## Considerations for Using the Data
122
 
123
+ ### Social Impact
124
 
125
+ Supports the development of NLP for Catalan, reducing the resource gap for minority languages.
126
 
127
  ### Discussion of Biases
128
 
129
+ * May inherit coverage biases present in Wikipedia.
130
+ * Articles selected are high-quality but do not fully represent all domains of Catalan usage.
131
 
132
  ### Other Known Limitations
133
 
134
+ * Limited domain (Wikipedia) may reduce generalizability.
