Flaglab/esnlir-human-validated

ESNLIR — human-validated subset

972 sentence pairs from ESNLIR whose label was confirmed by human annotators — the validated subset used in An Analysis of the Performance of Large Language Models in Spanish NLI Datasets with Causal Relationships (IBERAMIA 2026, to appear). Part of the ESNLIR-LLM collection, used in Pacolas/NLI-via-LLM.

A random sample of 2,136 instances from the full corpus was labeled by 27 Spanish-speaking university students, one label per pair. Only pairs whose majority-annotated label matched the original connector-derived label were kept.

Format

JSON Lines — one object per line. Same fields as Flaglab/esnlir-test, plus dataset_connector and connection_type.

The gold label is connection_type (the human-validated label), not connector_type. Both columns are present, which is what makes this subset useful: where they disagree, the connector-derived label did not survive human review.
