### 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](hulu.nlp.nytud.hu). 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](mailto:ligeti-nagy.noemi@nytud.hu), or check [HuLU's website](hulu.nlp.nytud.hu) 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).
