### Dataset Summary | |
A Winograd schema is a pair of sentences that differ in only one or two words and that contain an ambiguity that is | |
resolved in opposite ways in the two sentences and requires the use of world knowledge and reasoning for its | |
resolution. The schema takes its name from a well-known example by Terry Winograd: | |
> The city councilmen refused the demonstrators a permit because they [feared/advocated] violence. | |
If the word is ``feared'', then ``they'' presumably refers to the city council; if it is ``advocated'' then ``they'' | |
presumably refers to the demonstrators. | |
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
From the official webpage: | |
> A contest, entitled the Winograd Schema Challenge was run once, in 2016. At that time, there was a cash prize | |
offered for achieving human-level performance in the contest. Since then, the sponsor has withdrawn; therefore NO | |
CASH PRIZES CAN BE OFFERED OR WILL BE AWARDED FOR ANY KIND OF PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENT ON THIS CHALLENGE. | |

## Dataset Structure | |
### Data Instances | |
Each instance contains a text passage with a designated pronoun and two possible answers indicating which entity in | |
the passage the pronoun represents. An example instance looks like the following: | |
```python | |
{ | |
'label': 0, | |
'options': ['The city councilmen', 'The demonstrators'], | |
'pronoun': 'they', | |
'pronoun_loc': 63, | |
'quote': 'they feared violence', | |
'quote_loc': 63, | |
'source': '(Winograd 1972)', | |
'text': 'The city councilmen refused the demonstrators a permit because they feared violence.' | |
} | |
``` | |
### Data Fields | |
- `text` (str): The text sequence | |
- `options` (list[str]): The two entity options that the pronoun may be referring to | |
- `label` (int): The index of the correct option in the `options` field | |
- `pronoun` (str): The pronoun in the sequence to be resolved | |
- `pronoun_loc` (int): The starting position of the pronoun in the sequence | |
- `quote` (str): The substr with the key action or context surrounding the pronoun | |
- `quote_loc` (int): The starting position of the quote in the sequence | |
- `source` (str): A description of the source who contributed the example | |
### Data Splits | |
Only a test split is included. | |
## Dataset Creation | |
### Curation Rationale | |
The Winograd Schema Challenge was proposed as an automated evaluation of an AI system's commonsense linguistic | |
understanding. From the webpage: | |
> The strengths of the challenge are that it is clear-cut, in that the answer to each schema is a binary choice; | |
vivid, in that it is obvious to non-experts that a program that fails to get the right answers clearly has serious | |
gaps in its understanding; and difficult, in that it is far beyond the current state of the art. | |
### Source Data | |
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
This data was manually written by experts such that the schemas are: | |
- easily disambiguated by the human reader (ideally, so easily that the reader does not even notice that there is an ambiguity); | |
- not solvable by simple techniques such as selectional restrictions; | |
- Google-proof; that is, there is no obvious statistical test over text corpora that will reliably disambiguate these correctly. | |
#### Who are the source language producers? | |
This dataset has grown over time, and so was produced by a variety of lingustic and AI researchers. See the `source` | |
field for the source of each instance. | |
### Annotations | |
#### Annotation process | |
Annotations are produced by the experts who construct the examples. | |
#### Who are the annotators? | |
