ConanDoyle-neg negation spans
Negation cues and their scopes in Conan Doyle stories, as annotated for the *SEM 2012 shared task: every sentence asks for its negation cues (including affixes such as "in" of "infrequent") and the scope of each cue, which can be discontinuous.
Data-only mirror of the original *SEM 2012 shared task distribution,
using a pinned copy of the native gold columns,
prepared for tasksource/sherlock-negation-spans.
Reproduce with scripts/repackage_dataset/sherlock_spans.py.
provenance.json records file hashes, revisions, splits and settings.
Native train/validation/test story partitions (Baskervilles / Wisteria / Cardboard+Circle).
Schema: context, question, list answers (text, answer_start), JSON-string metadata
(field, group, cue offsets). Offsets preserve sub-token cues, cue identity and discontinuous
scopes. Human gold only. Stories are public domain; no standard annotation license established
(unspecified). Declared in tasksource's extraction catalog as sherlock/scopes.
Every sentence is kept; sentences without negation answer the cue field with null.
