Automatic Inter-document Multi-hop Scientific QA Generation
Existing automatic scientific question generation studies mainly focus on single-document factoid QA, overlooking the inter-document reasoning crucial for scientific understanding. We present AIM-SciQA, an automated framework for generating multi-document, multi-hop scientific QA datasets. AIM-SciQA extracts single-hop QAs using large language models (LLMs) with machine reading comprehension and constructs cross-document relations based on embedding-based semantic alignment while selectively leveraging citation information. Applied to 8,211 PubMed Central papers, it produced 411,409 single-hop and 13,672 multi-hop QAs, forming the IM-SciQA dataset. Human and automatic validation confirmed...
