# Dataset Card for SciFact

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://scifact.apps.allenai.org/
- **Pubmed:** False
- **Public:** True
- **Tasks:** TXT2CLASS


### Scifact Corpus Source

        SciFact is a dataset of 1.4K expert-written scientific claims paired with evidence-containing abstracts, and annotated with labels and rationales.
     This config has abstracts and document ids.
    

### Scifact Claims Source

    {_DESCRIPTION_BASE} This config connects the claims to the evidence and doc ids.
    

### Scifact Rationale Bigbio Pairs

    {_DESCRIPTION_BASE} This task is the following: given a claim and a text span composed of one or more sentences from an abstract, predict a label from ("rationale", "not_rationale") indicating if the span is evidence (can be supporting or refuting) for the claim. This roughly corresponds to the second task outlined in Section 5 of the paper."
    

### Scifact Labelprediction Bigbio Pairs

    {_DESCRIPTION_BASE} This task is the following: given a claim and a text span composed of one or more sentences from an abstract, predict a label from ("SUPPORT", "NOINFO", "CONTRADICT") indicating if the span supports, provides no info, or contradicts the claim. This roughly corresponds to the thrid task outlined in Section 5 of the paper.
