### Dataset Summary

TECA is a dataset of textual entailment in Catalan, which contains 21 163 pairs of premises and hypotheses, annotated according to the inference relation they have (implication, contradiction or neutral).

This dataset was developed by BSC TeMU as part of the AINA project and intended as part of the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Textual eintailment, Text classification, Language Model

### Languages

CA - Catalan

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Three JSON files, one for each split.

### Example:

<pre>
    
    {
        "id": 3247,
        "premise": "L'ONU adopta a Marràqueix un pacte no vinculant per les migracions",
        "hypothesis": "S'acorden unes recomanacions per les persones migrades a Marràqueix",
        "label": "0"
    },
    {
        "id": 2825,

        "label": "2"
    },
</pre>

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Some sentence pairs were excluded because of inconsistencies. 

### Source Data

Source sentences are extracted from the [Catalan Textual Corpus](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4519349) and from [Vilaweb](https://www.vilaweb.cat) newswire.

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

12000 sentences from the BSC Catalan Textual Corpus, together with 6200 headers from the Catalan news site Vilaweb, were chosen randomly. We filtered them by different criteria, such as length and stand-alone intelligibility. For each selected text, we commissioned 3 hypotheses (one for each entailment category) to be written by a team of native annotators. 

#### Who are the source language producers?

The Catalan Textual Corpus corpus consists of several corpora gathered from web crawling and public corpora. More information [here](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4519349).
[Vilaweb](https://www.vilaweb.cat) is a Catalan newswire.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

We commissioned 3 hypotheses (one for each entailment category) to be written by a team of annotators. 

#### Who are the annotators?

Annotators are a team of native language collaborators from two intependent companies.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal or sensitive information included.
