### Dataset Summary

This is the dataset for the paper [Testing the Ability of Language Models to Interpret Figurative Language](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.12632). Fig-QA consists of 10256 examples of human-written creative metaphors that are paired as a Winograd schema. It can be used to evaluate the commonsense reasoning of models. The metaphors themselves can also be used as training data for other tasks, such as metaphor detection or generation. 

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

You can evaluate your models on the test set by submitting to the [leaderboard](https://explainaboard.inspiredco.ai/leaderboards?dataset=fig_qa) on Explainaboard. Click on "New" and select `qa-multiple-choice` for the task field. Select `accuracy` for the metric. You should upload results in the form of a system output file in JSON or JSONL format. 

### Languages

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Discussion of Biases

These metaphors are human-generated and may contain insults or other explicit content. Authors of the paper manually removed offensive content, but users should keep in mind that some potentially offensive content may remain in the dataset.
