# Dataset Card for GEM/ART

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** http://abductivecommonsense.xyz/
- **Repository:** https://storage.googleapis.com/ai2-mosaic/public/abductive-commonsense-reasoning-iclr2020/anlg.zip
- **Paper:** https://openreview.net/pdf?id=Byg1v1HKDB
- **Leaderboard:** N/A
- **Point of Contact:** Chandra Bhagavatulla

### Link to Main Data Card

You can find the main data card on the [GEM Website](https://gem-benchmark.com/data_cards/ART).

### Dataset Summary 

Abductive reasoning is inference to the most plausible explanation. For example, if Jenny finds her house in a mess when she returns from work, and remembers that she left a window open, she can hypothesize that a thief broke into her house and caused the mess, as the most plausible explanation.
This data loader focuses on abductive NLG: a conditional English generation task for explaining given observations in natural language. 

You can load the dataset via:
```
import datasets
data = datasets.load_dataset('GEM/ART')
```
The data loader can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/ART).
