## Dataset Details

This dataset addresses the following question: "Would the information provided in response to Question B give enough information to sufficiently answer Question A". Thus, this is a directional dataset and match annotations may not hold in reverse. 

We presented this question to a doctor who determined if the answer to Question B would be sufficient to answer Question A. 
In other words, our annotator would imagine they wrote Question A and determine if they would likely obtain everything they need to know from Question B instead. Physicians ask patient questions in very specific ways towards eliciting very specific types of information, making seemingly similar statements non-matches and vice-versa. 

This dataset was used to help evaluate the methods in our paper "Follow-up Question Generation For Enhanced Patient-Provider Conversations". 

#### Who are the annotators?

This dataset was annotated by a family medicine physician with 20+ years of experience at a large regional hospital in the US.
