Title: RACE: Large-scale ReAding Comprehension Dataset From Examinations

Abstract: https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04683

RACE is a large-scale reading comprehension dataset with more than 28,000 passages and nearly 100,000 questions. The dataset is collected from English examinations in China, which are designed for middle school and high school students. The dataset can be served as the training and test sets for machine comprehension.

Checklist

For adding novel benchmarks/datasets to the library:

• Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
  • Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
  • If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test?

If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:

• Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted?
• Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates?
• Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant?
