KazQAD is a Kazakh open-domain Question Answering Dataset that can be used in both reading comprehension and full ODQA settings, as well as for information retrieval experiments.

• Kazakh Wikipedia (a dump of 01-Jan-2023)
• Google's Natural Questions (NQ)
• Unified National Testing (UNT) questions

The questions come from two sources: translated items from the Natural Questions (NQ) dataset (only for training) and the original Kazakh Unified National Testing (UNT) exam (for development and testing).
