	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	#### claims

	- Size of downloaded dataset files: 3.12 MB
	- Size of the generated dataset: 262.61 kB
	- Total amount of disk used: 3.38 MB

	An example of 'validation' looks as follows.
	```
	{
	"cited_doc_ids": [14717500],
	"claim": "1,000 genomes project enables mapping of genetic sequence variation consisting of rare variants with larger penetrance effects than common variants.",
	"evidence_doc_id": "14717500",
	"evidence_label": "SUPPORT",
	"evidence_sentences": [2, 5],
	"id": 3
	}
	```

	#### corpus

	- Size of downloaded dataset files: 3.12 MB
	- Size of the generated dataset: 7.99 MB
	- Total amount of disk used: 11.11 MB

	An example of 'train' looks as follows.
	```
	This example was too long and was cropped:

	{
	"abstract": "[\"Alterations of the architecture of cerebral white matter in the developing human brain can affect cortical development and res...",
	"doc_id": 4983,
	"structured": false,
	"title": "Microstructural development of human newborn cerebral white matter assessed in vivo by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging."
	}
	```

	### Data Fields

	The data fields are the same among all splits.

	#### claims
	- `id`: a `int32` feature.
	- `claim`: a `string` feature.
	- `evidence_doc_id`: a `string` feature.
	- `evidence_label`: a `string` feature.
	- `evidence_sentences`: a `list` of `int32` features.
	- `cited_doc_ids`: a `list` of `int32` features.

	#### corpus
	- `doc_id`: a `int32` feature.
	- `title`: a `string` feature.
	- `abstract`: a `list` of `string` features.
	- `structured`: a `bool` feature.
