# The modified Winograd Schema Challenge (MWSC)

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [http://decanlp.com](http://decanlp.com)
- **Repository:** https://github.com/salesforce/decaNLP
- **Paper:** [The Natural Language Decathlon: Multitask Learning as Question Answering](https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08730)
- **Point of Contact:** [Bryan McCann](mailto:bmccann@salesforce.com), [Nitish Shirish Keskar](mailto:nkeskar@salesforce.com)
- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 19.20 kB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 39.35 kB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 58.55 kB

### Dataset Summary

Examples taken from the Winograd Schema Challenge modified to ensure that answers are a single word from the context.
This Modified Winograd Schema Challenge (MWSC) ensures that scores are neither inflated nor deflated by oddities in phrasing.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

#### default

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 0.02 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 0.04 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 0.06 MB

An example looks as follows:
```
{
    "sentence": "The city councilmen refused the demonstrators a permit because they feared violence.",
    "question": "Who feared violence?",
    "options": [ "councilmen", "demonstrators" ],
    "answer": "councilmen"
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### default
- `sentence`: a `string` feature.
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `options`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `answer`: a `string` feature.

### Data Splits

| name  |train|validation|test|
|-------|----:|---------:|---:|
|default|   80|        82| 100|

  abstract = {In this paper, we present an alternative to the Turing Test that has some conceptual and practical advantages. A Wino-grad schema is a pair of sentences that differ only in one or two words and that contain a referential ambiguity that is resolved in opposite directions in the two sentences. We have compiled a collection of Winograd schemas, designed so that the correct answer is obvious to the human reader, but cannot easily be found using selectional restrictions or statistical techniques over text corpora. A contestant in the Winograd Schema Challenge is presented with a collection of one sentence from each pair, and required to achieve human-level accuracy in choosing the correct disambiguation.},
