TriviaQA: A Large Scale Distantly Supervised Challenge Dataset for Reading Comprehension
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.03551.pdf

TriviaQA is a reading comprehension dataset containing over 650K question-answer-evidence
triples. TriviaQA includes 95K question-answer pairs authored by trivia enthusiasts
and independently gathered evidence documents, six per question on average, that provide
high quality distant supervision for answering the questions.
