# Dataset Card for STSB

The Semantic Textual Similarity Benchmark (Cer et al., 2017) is a collection of sentence pairs drawn from news headlines, video and image captions, and natural language inference data.
Each pair is human-annotated with a similarity score from 1 to 5. However, for this variant, the similarity scores are normalized to between 0 and 1.

## Dataset Details

* Columns: "sentence1", "sentence2", "score"
* Column types: `str`, `str`, `float`
* Examples:
    ```python
    {
      'sentence1': 'A man is playing a large flute.',
      'sentence2': 'A man is playing a flute.',
      'score': 0.76,
    }
   ```
* Collection strategy: Reading the sentences and score from STSB dataset and dividing the score by 5.
* Deduplified: No
