We present WebFAQ, a large-scale collection of open-domain question answering datasets derived from FAQ-style schema.org annotations. In total, the data collection consists of 96 million natural question-answer (QA) pairs across 75 languages, including 47 million (49\%) non-English samples. WebFAQ further serves as the foundation for 20 monolingual retrieval benchmarks with a total size of 11.2 million QA pairs (5.9 million non-English). These datasets are carefully curated through refined filtering and near-duplicate detection, yielding high-quality resources for training and evaluating multilResearch goal: How does fine-tuning multilingual dense retrieval models on WebFAQ's FAQ-style data impact zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval accuracy on open-domain benchmarks like MLQA compared to training on standard natural question corpora?Autonomous synthesis report generated by Assignee Research. Tribunal consensus score: 9.1/10.
