ROCStories 2018 Dataset
This is the HuggingFace version of ROCStories Dataset.
We take a few changes.
Column names are renamed to match in each split, for example in
testwe have originallyInputSentenceX, that was renamed dosentenceXto match thetrainsplit.Columns missing in different splits were add to the other split with empty values. For example
trainsplit containsstorytitlecolumn. This column as added intestandvalidationsplits.There was three columns in
test/validationsplits.RandomFifthSentenceQuiz[1|2]andAnswerRightEnding. The first ones where renamed tosentence5if they are the correct answer (based on theAnserRightEnding) and the other was renamed tosentenceE(Error) if its not the right answer.
WARNING: The test set of 2018 dataset do not contains the column AnswerRightEnding, therefore, for sake of completeness we took RandomFifthSentenceQuiz1 as the correct one and the RandomFifthSentenceQuiz1 as the wrong one. If you know where to find the correct answers, please let me know and I will fix the dataset.
Most of these changes were taken to avoid a limitation in DatasetDicts in HuggingFace, since they all need to have the same columns.
Regarding the ROCStories these are the original papers
"Tackling The Story Ending Biases in The Story Cloze Test". Rishi Sharma, James Allen, Omid Bakhshandeh, Nasrin Mostafazadeh. In Proceedings of the 2018 Conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018
