ROCStories 2016 Dataset

This is the HuggingFace version of ROCStories Dataset.

We take a few changes.

  1. Column names are renamed to match in each split, for example in test we have originally InputSentenceX, that was renamed do sentenceX to match the train split.

  2. Columns missing in different splits were add to the other split with empty values. For example train split contains storytitle column. This column as added in test and validation splits.

  3. There was three columns in test/validation splits. RandomFifthSentenceQuiz[1|2] and AnswerRightEnding. The first ones where renamed to sentence5 if they are the correct answer (based on the AnserRightEnding) and the other was renamed to sentenceE (Error) if its not the right answer.

Most of these changes were taken to avoid a limitation in DatasetDicts in HuggingFace, since they all need to have the same columns.
