NLQuAD is a non-factoid long question answering dataset from BBC news articles. NLQuAD’s question types and the long length of its context documents as well as answers, make it a challenging real-world task. NLQuAD consists of news articles as context documents, interrogative sub-headings in the articles as questions, and body paragraphs corresponding to the sub-headings as contiguous answers to the questions. NLQuAD contains 31k non-factoid questions and long answers collected from 13k BBC news articles.
Check github for the dataset and codes
UTSig has 115 classes containing: 27 genuine signatures; 3 opposite-hand signed samples and 42 simple forgeries. Each class belongs to one specific authentic person. UTSig totally has 8280 images collected from undergraduate and graduate students of University of Tehran and Sharif University of Technology. Signatures were scanned with 600 dpi resolution and stored as 8-bit Tiff files.
From here you can see some samples (5 complete classes). Moreover you can see UTSig preview version (one small size sample per class).
New! Cropped, One-Folder, and PNG Version (Suggested!) [UTSig_Crop]
In this new version, signatures were cropped and all samples were located in one folder with format of CxxxGxx or CxxxFxx (C=Class, G=Genuine, F=Forgery)
