This includes: (i) a new corpus of close to 600 factoid sentences, manually created from an existing corpus of questions and answers, used as our benchmark; (ii) two approaches for the automatic generation of question-answer pairs, which can be seen as baselines; (iii) results of those approaches in the corpus.engQuestion-Answer GenerationCorpusNLPPortugueseconference object10.4230/OASIcs.SLATE.2020.16
