From "MedMCQA: A Large-scale Multi-Subject Multi-Choice Dataset for Medical domain Question Answering" |
|
(Pal et al.), MedMCQA is a "multiple-choice question answering (MCQA) dataset designed to address |
|
real-world medical entrance exam questions." The dataset "...has more than 194k high-quality AIIMS & NEET PG |
|
entrance exam MCQs covering 2.4k healthcare topics and 21 medical subjects are collected with an average |
|
token length of 12.77 and high topical diversity." |
|
|
|
The following is an example from the dataset: |
|
|
|
Question: In a patient of heart disease antibiotic prophylaxis for dental extraction is: |
|
A. Amoxicillin. |
|
B. Imipenem. |
|
C. Gentamicin. |
|
D. Erythromycin. |
|

options which requires a deeper language understanding as it tests the 10+ reasoning abilities of a model across |

information, is provided in this study.} |
