👩🏻‍⚕Introduction

• Huatuo-26M is currently the largest Chinese medical question-and-answer dataset. This dataset contains over 26 million high-quality medical Q&A pairs, covering various aspects such as diseases, symptoms, treatment methods, and drug information.
• Huatuo-Lite is a refined and optimized dataset based on Huatuo-26M, having undergone multiple purifications and rewrites. It features more data dimensions and higher data quality.

📚Data Content

The Huatuo-26M dataset is collected and integrated from multiple sources, including:

• Online Medical Encyclopedia huatuo_encyclopedia_qa
• Online Medical Knowledge Bases huatuo_knowledge_graph_qa
• Online Medical Consultation Records（answer in the form of URLs） huatuo_consultation_qa
• Streamlined version Huatuo-Lite

Each question-answer pair in the dataset contains the following fields：

• questions：Problem Description
• answers：Doctor/Expert Answers
• Huatuo-Lite dataset also includes Hospital Department and Related Diseases fields

The following is the huatuo test set we used in the paper, which consists of random sampling of data from multiple sources.

• Testdatasets：huatuo26M-testdatasets

🤖Data Usage

The Huatuo-26M dataset can be used for a variety of AI research and applications in the medical field, such as:
