Dataset Card for HuCoPA

Dataset Summary

This is the dataset card for the Hungarian Choice of Plausible Alternatives Corpus (HuCoPA), which is also part of the Hungarian Language Understanding Evaluation Benchmark Kit HuLU. The corpus was created by translating and re-annotating the original English CoPA corpus (Roemmele et al., 2011).

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

'commonsense reasoning' 'question answering'

Languages

The BCP-47 code for Hungarian, the only represented language in this dataset, is hu-HU.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

For each instance, there is an id, a premise, a question ('cause' or 'effect'), two alternatives and a label (1 or 2).

An example:

{"idx": "1",
 "question": "cause",
 "label": "1",
 "premise": "A testem árnyékot vetett a fűre.",
 "choice1": "Felkelt a nap.",
 "choice2": "A füvet lenyírták."}

Data Fields

• id: unique id of the instances, an integer between 1 and 1000;
• question: "cause" or "effect". It suggests what kind of causal relation are we looking for: in the case of "cause" we search for the more plausible alternative that may be a cause of the premise. In the case of "effect" we are looking for a plausible result of the premise;
• premise: the premise, a sentence;
• choice1: the first alternative, a sentence;
• choice2: the second alternative, a sentence;
• label: the number of the more plausible alternative (1 or 2).

Data Splits

HuCoPA has 3 splits: train, validation and test.

Dataset split	Number of instances in the split
train	400
validation	100
test	500

The test data is distributed without the labels. To evaluate your model, please contact us, or check HuLU's website for an automatic evaluation (this feature is under construction at the moment).

Dataset Creation

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The data is a translation of the content of the CoPA corpus. Each sentence was translated by a human translator. Each translation was manually checked and further refined by another annotator.

Annotations

Annotation process

The instances initially inherited their original labels from the CoPA dataset. Each instance was annotated by a human annotator. If the original label and the human annotator's label did not match, we manually curated the instance and assigned a final label to that. This step was necessary to ensure that the causal realationship had not been changed or lost during the translation process.

Who are the annotators?

The translators were native Hungarian speakers with English proficiency. The annotators were university students with some linguistic background.

Additional Information

The human performance on the test set is 96% (accuracy).
