Abstract*
The dataset provides a gold standard for Swedish word synonymy/definition. The test items are collected from the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test (högskoleprovet), currently spanning the years 2006--2021 and 822 vocabulary test items. The task for the tested system is to determine which synonym or definition of five alternatives is correct for each test item.

II. USAGE

Key applications
Evaluation of word meaning through synonymy.

Intended task(s)/usage(s)
For each test item, predict the synonym out of five alternatives.

Recommended evaluation measures
Krippendorff's pseudoalpha (the official SuperLim measure), a derived Krippendorff's alpha. For this dataset, pseudoalpha = (Accuracy - 1/5) / (4/5), where accuracy is the proportion of correctly answered questions. Other possible measures: accuracy.

Dataset function(s)
Few-shot training ("prompting"), testing

Recommended split(s)
A few-shot training set (aka "prompt", 10%), test set (90%). The prompt was added with the GPT-like models in mind. For those models that do not need a prompt, it can be ignored.

III. DATA

Primary data*
Text

Language*
Swedish

Dataset in numbers*
83 train items and 739 test items with one focus word and five answer alternatives each.

Nature of the content*
Each test item contains one focus word, which may be a single word or a phrase or expression. The answer alternatives may also be a single word or a phrase or expression. Only one alternative is marked as correct. There may be other possible meanings of the focus word, which are not possible alternatives.

Format*
JSON Lines, with one item per line. Each line contains an id (("h"+year+"a"|"b"|"c"("a"|"b")+item number ("00" is a practice item)), a target item, an array of candidate answers and a label index which indicates the correct answer (numbering starts at 0). Metadata contain a comment which showswhether the item is marked "excluded" in the answer key, because they were leaked on the internet immediately before the 2012 spring test (four items in total)
