# Dataset Card for "relbert/semeval2012_relational_similarity"
## Dataset Description
- **Repository:** [RelBERT](https://github.com/asahi417/relbert)
- **Paper:** [https://aclanthology.org/S12-1047/](https://aclanthology.org/S12-1047/)
- **Dataset:** SemEval2012 relational similarity dataset 

### Dataset Summary
Relational similarity dataset from [SemEval2012 task 2](https://aclanthology.org/S12-1047/), compiled to fine-tune [RelBERT](https://github.com/asahi417/relbert) model.
The dataset contains a list of positive and negative word pair from 89 pre-defined relations.
The relation types are constructed on top of following 10 parent relation types.  
```shell
{
    1: "Class Inclusion",  # Hypernym
    2: "Part-Whole",  # Meronym, Substance Meronym
    3: "Similar",  # Synonym, Co-hypornym
    4: "Contrast",  # Antonym
    5: "Attribute",  # Attribute, Event
    6: "Non Attribute",
    7: "Case Relation",
    8: "Cause-Purpose",
    9: "Space-Time",
    10: "Representation"
}
```
Each of the parent relation is further grouped into child relation types where the definition can be found [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzcZKTSeYL8VenY0QkVpZVpxYnc/view?resourcekey=0-ZP-UARfJj39PcLroibHPHw).
