SpanEx consists of 7071 instances annotated for span interactions. SpanEx is the first dataset with human phrase-level interaction explanations with explicit labels for interaction types. Moreover, SpanEx is annotated by three annotators, which opens new avenues for studies of human explanation agreement -- an understudied area in the explainability literature. Our study reveals that while human annotators often agree on span interactions, they also offer complementary reasons for a prediction, collectively providing a comprehensive set of reasons for a prediction. We collect explanations of span interactions for NLI on the SNLI dataset and for FC on the FEVER dataset.
