## Dataset Summary 

The present dataset is a result of processing the [IBM Debater Claim Stance Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ibm/claim_stance) to create representative samples. The size has been reduced to roughly 100 entries, enabling the benchmarking of models for relation-based argument mining tasks with limited resources.

The sample also modifies the original dataset to achieve a more balanced plurality of stances and topics, and creates a new "unrelated" class in argument relation (following a simple rule-based data augmentation algorithm). Further details on the preprocessing can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/coding-kelps/liaisons-preprocess).

## Dataset Structure

* parent_argument - The first argument that states a position regarding a topic
* child_argument - Another argument that is compared to the parent argument
* relation - The argumentative relation of the child argument to the parent argument. It can either be support/attack in the binary split or support/attack/unrelated in the ternary split
