Data Summary

This is the Bangla-translated version of the OpenBookQA dataset. The dataset was translated using a new method called Expressive Semantic Translation (EST), which combines Google Machine Translation with LLM-based rewriting modifications. This method enhances the semantic accuracy and expressiveness of the translated content. OpenBookQA focuses on advanced question-answering, requiring multi-step reasoning, additional common and commonsense knowledge, and rich text comprehension, similar to open-book exams.
