Dataset Summary
SemRel2024 is a collection of Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR) datasets for 14 languages, including African and Asian languages. The datasets are composed of sentence pairs, each assigned a relatedness score between 0 (completely) unrelated and 1 (maximally related) with a large range of expected relatedness values. SemRel2024 dataset was used as part of the SemEval2024 shared task 1. The task aims to evaluate the ability of systems to measure the semantic relatedness between two sentences.
Languages
The SemRel2024 dataset covers the following 14 languages:
- Afrikaans (afr)
- Algerian Arabic (arq)
- Amharic (amh)
- English (eng)
- Hausa (hau)
- Indonesian (ind)
- Hindi (hin)
- Kinyarwanda (kin)
- Marathi (mar)
- Modern Standard Arabic (arb)
- Moroccan Arabic (ary)
- Punjabi (pan)
- Spanish (esp)
- Telugu (tel)
Note: Spanish test labels are all -1 because the Spanish team retained the gold test labels to avoid contamination problems in future benchmarking. We refer to the CodaLab contest website to evaluate your predictions, which will remain open.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each instance in the dataset consists of two text segments and a relatedness score indicating the degree of semantic relatedness between them.
{
"sentence1": "string",
"sentence2": "string",
"label": float
}
- sentence1: a string feature representing the first text segment.
- sentence2: a string feature representing the second text segment.
- label: a float value representing the semantic relatedness score between sentence1 and sentence2, typically ranging from 0 (not related at all) to 1 (highly related).
