Fields in our dataset

The field orig_question' and orig_answer' are the extracted question-answer pairs from the recalled documents. The question' and answer' are the refined version of the extracted question/answer pairs.

Regarding the data source:

1. mathstackexchange: https://math.stackexchange.com/.
2. stackexchange: including https://physics.stackexchange.com/, https://biology.stackexchange.com/, https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/, https://cs.stackexchange.com/.
3. Socratic: the data is originally from https://socratic.org/.

Dataset Construction

We propose discovering instruction data from the web. We argue that vast amounts of high-quality instruction data exist in the web corpus, spanning various domains like math and science. Our three-step pipeline involves recalling documents from Common Crawl, extracting Q-A pairs, and refining them for quality. This approach yields 10 million instruction-response pairs, offering a scalable alternative to existing datasets. We name our curated dataset as WebInstruct.
