Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

A dataset adopting the FEVER methodology that consists of 1,535 real-world claims regarding climate-change collected on the internet. Each claim is accompanied by five manually annotated evidence sentences retrieved from the English Wikipedia that support, refute or do not give enough information to validate the claim totalling in 7,675 claim-evidence pairs. The dataset features challenging claims that relate multiple facets and disputed cases of claims where both supporting and refuting evidence are present.

Data Fields

  • claim_id: a string feature, unique claim identifier.
  • claim: a string feature, claim text.
  • claim_label: a int feature, overall label assigned to claim (based on evidence majority vote). The label correspond to 0: "refutes", 1: "supports" and 2: "not enough info"
  • evidences: a list of evidences with fields:
  • evidence_id: a string feature, unique evidence identifier.
  • evidence_label: a int feature, micro-verdict label. The label correspond to 0: "refutes", 1: "supports" and 2: "not enough info"
  • article: a string feature, title of source article (Wikipedia page).
  • evidence: a string feature, evidence sentence.
  • entropy: a float32 feature, entropy reflecting uncertainty of evidence_label.
  • votes: a list of string features, corresponding to individual votes.
