+
+### Dataset Summary
+
+SemRel2024 is a collection of Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR) datasets for 14 languages, including African and Asian languages. The dataset is designed for the SemEval-2024 Task 1: Semantic Textual Relatedness for African and Asian Languages. The task aims to evaluate the ability of systems to measure the semantic relatedness between two text segments, such as sentences or phrases.
+
+### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+The SemRel2024 dataset can be used for the Semantic Textual Relatedness task, which involves predicting the degree of semantic relatedness between two text segments on a scale, typically from 0 (not related at all) to 5 (highly related).

+
+### Languages
+
+The SemRel2024 dataset covers the following 14 languages:
+
+1. Afrikaans (_afr_)
+2. Algerian Arabic (_arq_)
+3. Amharic (_amh_)
+4. English (_eng_)
+5. Hausa (_hau_)
+6. Indonesian (_ind_)
+7. Hindi (_hin_)
+8. Kinyarwanda (_kin_)
+9. Marathi (_mar_)
+10. Modern Standard Arabic (_arb_)
+11. Moroccan Arabic (_ary_)
+12. Punjabi (_pan_)
+13. Spanish (_esp_)
+14. Telugu (_tel_)
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+Each instance in the dataset consists of two text segments and a relatedness score indicating the degree of semantic relatedness between them.
+
+{
+  "text1": "string",
+  "text2": "string",
+  "score": float
+}
+
+- text1: a string feature representing the first text segment.
+- text2: a string feature representing the second text segment.
+- score: a float value representing the semantic relatedness score between text1 and text2, typically ranging from 0 (not related at all) to 5 (highly related).
