Bilingual English + German SQuAD2.0
We created German Squad 2.0 (deQuAD 2.0) and merged with SQuAD2.0 into an English and German training data for question answering. The bert-base-multilingual-cased is used to fine-tune bilingual QA downstream task.
Details of deQuAD 2.0
SQuAD2.0 was auto-translated into German. We hired professional editors to proofread the translated transcripts, correct mistakes and double check the answers to further polish the text and enhance annotation quality. The final German deQuAD dataset contains 130k training and 11k test samples.
