# 🧠 Multilingual QASem Dataset

A multilingual dataset for **QA-based Semantic Parsing (QASem)** covering **Hebrew, Russian, and French**.  
It includes automatically projected **training data** and manually validated **gold data (dev + test)** for evaluating cross-lingual QASem parsers.

---

## 📘 Overview
This dataset provides **QA-based Semantic Representations (QASem)** in three typologically diverse languages.  
Each instance corresponds to a **predicate** and its associated **question–answer pairs**, representing the underlying semantic roles in natural language.

It is intended for training and evaluating **multilingual QASem parsers**, and for studying **cross-lingual projection**, **predicate preservation**, and **semantic role alignment**.
