Dataset Summary
This repository contains the French version of the FraCaS Test Suite introduced in this paper, as well as the original English one, in a TSV format (as opposed to the XML format provided with the original paper).
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset can be used for the task of Natural Language Inference (NLI), also known as Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE), which is a sentence-pair classification task.
It can also be used for the task of Question Answering (QA).

Data Splits
The premise counts are distributed as follows:
# premises | # problems | % problems |
---|---|---|
1 | 192 | 55.5 % |
2 | 122 | 35.3 % |
3 | 29 | 8.4 % |
4 | 2 | 0.6 % |
5 | 1 | 0.3 % |
The answer distribution is roughly as follows:
# problems | Percentage | Answer |
---|---|---|
180 | 52% | Yes |
94 | 27% | Don't know |
31 | 9% | No |
41 | 12% | [other / complex] |
Here's the breakdown by topic:
sec | topic | start | count | % | single-premise |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Quantifiers | 1 | 80 | 23 % | 50 |
2 | Plurals | 81 | 33 | 10 % | 24 |
3 | Anaphora | 114 | 28 | 8 % | 6 |
4 | Ellipsis | 142 | 55 | 16 % | 25 |
5 | Adjectives | 197 | 23 | 7 % | 15 |
6 | Comparatives | 220 | 31 | 9 % | 16 |
7 | Temporal | 251 | 75 | 22 % | 39 |
8 | Verbs | 326 | 8 | 2 % | 8 |
9 | Attitudes | 334 | 4 | 10 % | 9 |

abstract = "This paper presents a French version of the FraCaS test suite. This test suite, originally written in English, contains problems illustrating semantic inference in natural language. We describe linguistic choices we had to make when translating the FraCaS test suite in French, and discuss some of the issues that were raised by the translation. We also report an experiment we ran in order to test both the translation and the logical semantics underlying the problems of the test suite. This provides a way of checking formal semanticists{'} hypotheses against actual semantic capacity of speakers (in the present case, French speakers), and allow us to compare the results we obtained with the ones of similar experiments that have been conducted for other languages.",
