### Dataset Summary

The MT-GenEval benchmark evaluates gender translation accuracy on English -> {Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish}. The dataset contains individual sentences with annotations on the gendered target words, and contrastive original-invertend translations with additional preceding context.

**Disclaimer**: *The MT-GenEval benchmark was released in the EMNLP 2022 paper [MT-GenEval: A Counterfactual and Contextual Dataset for Evaluating Gender Accuracy in Machine Translation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01355) by Anna Currey, Maria Nadejde, Raghavendra Pappagari, Mia Mayer, Stanislas Lauly, Xing Niu, Benjamin Hsu, and Georgiana Dinu and is hosted through Github by the [Amazon Science](https://github.com/amazon-science?type=source) organization.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
#### Machine Translation
Refer to the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01355) for additional details on gender accuracy evaluation with MT-GenEval.
### Languages
The dataset contains source English sentences extracted from Wikipedia translated into the following languages: Arabic (`ar`), French (`fr`), German (`de`), Hindi (`hi`), Italian (`it`), Portuguese (`pt`), Russian (`ru`), and Spanish (`es`).
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances

The dataset contains two configuration types, `sentences` and `context`, mirroring the original repository structure, with source and target language specified in the configuration name (e.g. `sentences_en_ar`, `context_en_it`) The `sentences` configurations contains masculine and feminine versions of individual sentences with gendered word annotations. Here is an example entry of the `sentences_en_it` split (all `sentences_en_XX` splits have the same structure):

```json
{
{
  "orig_id": 0,
  "source_feminine": "Pagratidis quickly recanted her confession, claiming she was psychologically pressured and beaten, and until the moment of her execution, she remained firm in her innocence.",
  "reference_feminine": "Pagratidis subito ritrattò la sua confessione, affermando che era aveva subito pressioni psicologiche e era stata picchiata, e fino al momento della sua esecuzione, rimase ferma sulla sua innocenza.",
  "source_masculine": "Pagratidis quickly recanted his confession, claiming he was psychologically pressured and beaten, and until the moment of his execution, he remained firm in his innocence.",
  "reference_masculine": "Pagratidis subito ritrattò la sua confessione, affermando che era aveva subito pressioni psicologiche e era stato picchiato, e fino al momento della sua esecuzione, rimase fermo sulla sua innocenza.",
  "source_feminine_annotated": "Pagratidis quickly recanted <F>her</F> confession, claiming <F>she</F> was psychologically pressured and beaten, and until the moment of <F>her</F> execution, <F>she</F> remained firm in <F>her</F> innocence.",
  "reference_feminine_annotated": "Pagratidis subito ritrattò la sua confessione, affermando che era aveva subito pressioni psicologiche e era <F>stata picchiata</F>, e fino al momento della sua esecuzione, rimase <F>ferma</F> sulla sua innocenza.",
  "source_masculine_annotated": "Pagratidis quickly recanted <M>his</M> confession, claiming <M>he</M> was psychologically pressured and beaten, and until the moment of <M>his</M> execution, <M>he</M> remained firm in <M>his</M> innocence.",
  "reference_masculine_annotated": "Pagratidis subito ritrattò la sua confessione, affermando che era aveva subito pressioni psicologiche e era <M>stato picchiato</M>, e fino al momento della sua esecuzione, rimase <M>fermo</M> sulla sua innocenza.",
  "source_feminine_keywords": "her;she;her;she;her",
  "reference_feminine_keywords": "stata picchiata;ferma",
  "source_masculine_keywords": "his;he;his;he;his",
  "reference_masculine_keywords": "stato picchiato;fermo",
}
}
```

The `context` configuration contains instead different English sources related to stereotypical professional roles with additional preceding context and contrastive original-inverted translations. Here is an example entry of the `context_en_it` split (all `context_en_XX` splits have the same structure):

```json
{
  "orig_id": 0,
  "context": "Pierpont told of entering and holding up the bank and then fleeing to Fort Wayne, where the loot was divided between him and three others.",
  "source": "However, Pierpont stated that Skeer was the planner of the robbery.",
  "reference_original": "Comunque, Pierpont disse che Skeer era il pianificatore della rapina.",
  "reference_flipped": "Comunque, Pierpont disse che Skeer era la pianificatrice della rapina."
}
```

### Data Splits

All `sentences_en_XX` configurations have 1200 examples in the `train` split and 300 in the `test` split. For the `context_en_XX` configurations, the number of example depends on the language pair:

| Configuration   | # Train    | # Test  |
| :-----------:   | :--------: | :-----: |
| `context_en_ar` |    792     |  1100   |
| `context_en_fr` |    477     |  1099   |
| `context_en_de` |    598     |  1100   |
| `context_en_hi` |    397     |  1098   |
| `context_en_it` |    465     |  1904   |
| `context_en_pt` |    574     |  1089   |
| `context_en_ru` |    583     |  1100   |
| `context_en_es` |    534     |  1096   |

### Dataset Creation

From the original paper:

>In developing MT-GenEval, our goal was to create a realistic, gender-balanced dataset that naturally incorporates a diverse range of gender phenomena. To this end, we extracted English source sentences from Wikipedia as the basis for our dataset. We automatically pre-selected relevant sentences using EN gender-referring words based on the list provided by [Zhao et al. (2018)](https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/N18-2003).

Please refer to the original article [MT-GenEval: A Counterfactual and Contextual Dataset for Evaluating Gender Accuracy in Machine Translation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01355) for additional information on dataset creation.
