Challenge: Existing conversational question answering datasets are usually constructed from unstructured texts in English.
Approach: They propose a Chinese tabular conversational question answering dataset based on financial reports . they select 2,463 tables and manually generate 2,463, conversations with 35,494 QA pairs .
Outcome: The proposed dataset is based on Chinese financial reports extracted from listed companies in the past 30 years.
