Dataset Summary

This repository contains a manually translated French version of the GQNLI challenge dataset, originally written in English. GQNLI is an evaluation corpus that is aimed for testing language model's generalized quantifier reasoning ability.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset can be used for the task of Natural Language Inference (NLI), also known as Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE), which is a sentence-pair classification task.

Dataset Structure

Data Fields

uid: Index number.
premise: The translated premise in the target language.
hypothesis: The translated premise in the target language.
label: The classification label, with possible values 0 (entailment), 1 (neutral), 2 (contradiction).
label_text: The classification label, with possible values entailment (0), neutral (1), contradiction (2).
premise_original: The original premise from the English source dataset.
hypothesis_original: The original hypothesis from the English source dataset.

    abstract = "Logical approaches to representing language have developed and evaluated computational models of quantifier words since the 19th century, but today{'}s NLU models still struggle to capture their semantics. We rely on Generalized Quantifier Theory for language-independent representations of the semantics of quantifier words, to quantify their contribution to the errors of NLU models. We find that quantifiers are pervasive in NLU benchmarks, and their occurrence at test time is associated with performance drops. Multilingual models also exhibit unsatisfying quantifier reasoning abilities, but not necessarily worse for non-English languages. To facilitate directly-targeted probing, we present an adversarial generalized quantifier NLI task (GQNLI) and show that pre-trained language models have a clear lack of robustness in generalized quantifier reasoning.",
