How abachaa/medquad works
MedQuAD is a static medical question-answer dataset, not an application with an implemented request-processing pipeline. Its principal use is for researchers to retrieve or evaluate answers to medical questions using question-answer pairs drawn from NIH websites. The README documents question-type and focus annotations, plus synonyms and UMLS identifiers; it also notes that answers are omitted from three MedlinePlus subsets. The tree shows the collection directories, but no source excerpts, so internal data relationships are not inferred.
