# Dataset Card for ARC_Challenge_Swahili

## Dataset Summary

ARC_Challenge_Swahili is a Swahili translation of the original English ARC (AI2 Reasoning Challenge) dataset. This dataset evaluates the ability of AI systems to answer grade-school level multiple-choice science questions. The Swahili version was created using a combination of machine translation and human annotation to ensure high-quality and accurate translations.

## Translation Methodology
The translation process for the ARC_Challenge_Swahili dataset involved two main stages:

### Machine Translation:
1. The initial translation from English to Swahili was performed using the SeamlessM4TModel translation model.

* The following parameters were used for the translation:
```python
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1024).to(device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, tgt_lang=dest_lang)
translation = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
```

2. Human Verification and Annotation:

* After the initial machine translation, the translations were passed through GPT-3.5 for verification. This step involved checking the quality of the translations and identifying any that were not up to standard.
* Human translators reviewed and annotated the translations flagged by GPT-3.5 as problematic to ensure accuracy and naturalness in Swahili.

## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
* multiple-choice: The dataset supports multiple-choice question-answering tasks.

## Languages
The dataset is in Swahili.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances
* An example of a data instance:
```json
{
  "id": "example-id",
  "language": "sw",
  "question": "Ni gani kati ya zifuatazo ni sehemu ya mmea?",
  "choices": [
    {"text": "Majani", "Jiwe", "Ubao", "Nondo"},
    {"label": "A", "B": "C", "D"},
  ],
  "answerKey": "A"
}
```

### Data Fields
* id: Unique identifier for each question.
* language: The language of the question is Swahili (sw).
* question: The science question in Swahili.
* Choices: There are multiple-choice options, each with text and label.
* answerKey: The correct answer for each question.
