+# Sinhala SQuAD Dataset
+
+This dataset is a translation of the **SQuAD v1.0** dataset into **Sinhala** using the Google Translate API. It consists of **16,000 question-answer pairs**, with **13,000 training pairs** and **1,250 test/dev pairs**. The dataset is cleaned and validated to ensure the quality of the translations.
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+- **Size**: 16,000 QA pairs
+  - **Train**: 13,000 pairs
+  - **Test/Dev**: 1,250 pairs
+- **Language**: Sinhala
+- **Source**: The dataset was derived from the original **SQuAD v1.0** dataset.
+- **Preprocessing**: The data was translated using the Google Translate API, followed by cleaning and validation of the translations.
+
+## Performance
+
+The best performance achieved on this dataset was obtained by fine-tuning the **XLM-R Large model** on the Sinhala-translated data. The model achieved the following performance metrics:
+
+- **F1 Score**: 73.29 on the test set
+
+## Usage
+
+You can use this dataset for training and evaluating extractive question answering models in Sinhala. It can be easily loaded using the Hugging Face `datasets` library.
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset("janani-rane/SiQuAD")
+```
