### Dataset Summary
The AraStance dataset contains true and false claims, where each claim is paired with one or more documents. Each claim–article pair has a stance label: agree, disagree, discuss, or unrelated.
### Languages
Arabic
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
An example of 'train' looks as follows:
```
{
'id': '0',
'claim': 'تم رفع صورة السيسي في ملعب ليفربول',
'article': 'خطفت مكة محمد صلاح نجلة نجم ليفربول الإنجليزي الأنظار في ظهورها بملعب آنفيلد عقب مباراة والدها أمام برايتون في ختام الدوري الإنجليزي والتي انتهت بفوز الأول برباعية نظيفة. وأوضحت صحيفة "ميرور" البريطانية أن مكة محمد صلاح أضفت حالة من المرح في ملعب آنفيلد أثناء مداعبة الكرة بعد تتويج نجم منتخب مصر بجائزة هداف الدوري الإنجليزي. وأشارت إلى أن مكة أظهرت بعضًا من مهاراتها بمداعبة الكرة ونجحت في خطف قلوب مشجعي الريدز.',
'stance': 3
}
```
### Data Fields
- `id`: a 'string' feature.
- `claim`: a 'string' expressing a claim/topic.
- `article`: a 'string' to be classified for its stance to the source.
- `stance`: a class label representing the stance the article expresses towards the claim. Full tagset with indices:
```
0: "Agree",
1: "Disagree",
2: "Discuss",
3: "Unrelated",
```
