Seeing Is Not Sharing (SINS) Binary Common-Ground Judgment Dataset

Dataset Description

SINS is a 13,077-instance binary common-ground judgment (interpretation matching judgment) dataset, derived from the public Grounded Misunderstandings in MapTask (GMMT) annotations. Each instance asks whether the giver and follower interpret the referring expression as the same landmark. Rows preserve identifiers and context-window provenance while mapping GMMT status to gold_label: aligned becomes yes; pending and misunderstood become no.

Data Fields

The release contains ref_id, dialogue_id, map_id, utt_id, transaction_id, context_transaction_ids, end_utt_id_of_context, timed_unit_ids, expression, status, and gold_label.

Excluded Material

The SINS HF dataset does not contain dialogue context. It does not contain MapTask maps, images, OCR, or image-derived text. It also does not contain generated prompts, model predictions, log-probabilities, or copies of the underlying MapTask source files. Users who download MapTask themselves may reconstruct context with the SINS code repository and a local GMMT checkout.

Licensing and Provenance

SINS is released under CC BY 4.0. It is derived from GMMT, which is also CC BY 4.0. Please cite both the SINS paper and GMMT when using this dataset. See NOTICE in the code repository for details.
