PubMedQA: A Dataset for Biomedical Research Question Answering
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.06146.pdf

PubMedQA is a novel biomedical question answering (QA) dataset collected from
PubMed abstracts. The task of PubMedQA is to answer research questions with 
yes/no/maybe (e.g.: Do preoperative statins reduce atrial fibrillation after 
coronary artery bypass grafting?) using the corresponding abstracts. PubMedQA 
has 1k expert-annotated, 61.2k unlabeled and 211.3k artificially generated QA 
instances. Each PubMedQA instance is composed of (1) a question which is either
an existing research article title or derived from one, (2) a context which is
the corresponding abstract without its conclusion, (3) a long answer, which is
the conclusion of the abstract and, presumably, answers the research question, 
and (4) a yes/no/maybe answer which summarizes the conclusion.
