Metaphors and analogies datasets

These datasets contain word pairs and quadruples forming analogies, metaphoric mapping or sematically unacceptable compositions.

  • Pair instances are pairs of nouns A and B in a sentence of the form "A is a B".

  • Quadruple instances are of the form : < (A,B),(C,D) > There is an analogy when A is to B what C is to D. The analogy is also a metaphor when the (A,B) and (C,D) form a metaphoric mapping, usually when they come from different domains.

Name Size Labels Description
Cardillo 260 *2 1, 2 Pairs of "A is-a B" sentences composed of one metaphoric and one literal sentence. The two sentences of a given pair share the same B term.
Jankowiak 120*3 0, 1, 2 Triples of "A is-a/is-like-a B" sentences with exactly one literal, one semantic abnormal and one metaphoric sentence.
Green 40*3 0, 1, 2 Triples of proportional analogies, made of 4 terms <A, B, Ci, Di> each. One stem <A,B> is composed with 3 different <Ci,Di> pairs, to form exaclty one near analogy, one far analogy and one non analogic quadruple
Kmiecik 720 0, 1, 2 Quadruples <A,B,C,D> labelled as analogy:True/False and far_analogy: True/False
SAT-met 160?*5 0, 1, 2, 12 One pair stem <A,B> to combine with 5 different pairs <Ci,Di> and attempt to form proportional analogies. Only one <Ci,Di> forms an analogy with <A,B> We additionally labelled the analogies as metaphoric:True/False

Labels :

  • Pairs

    • 0 : anomaly
    • 1 : literal
    • 2 : metaphor
  • Quadruples :

    • 0 : not an analogy
    • 1 : an analogy but not a metaphor
    • 2 : an analogy and a metaphor or a far analogy
    • 12 : maybe a metaphor, somewhere between 1 and 2

Dataset Splits

  • Both lexical and random splits are available for classification experiments.

    • Size of the splits :

      • train : 50 %
      • validation : 10 %
      • test : 40 %
  • Additionally, for all datasets, the 5-folds field gives frozen splits for a five-folds cross validation experiment with train/val/test = 70/10/20% of the sets.

Datasets for Classification

  • Task : binary classification or 3-classes classification of pairs or quadruples. Each pair or quadruple is to classify between anomaly, non-metaphoric and metaphoric.

Datasets for multiple choice questions or permutation

  • Task : One stem and multiple choices. The stem and its possible combinations are to be combined to form a sentence. The resulting sentence has a label <0,1,2>.
