### Dataset Summary

Professional translation into Catalan of the Cross-lingual Natural Language Inference [XNLI dataset](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XNLI), an evaluation corpus for language transfer and cross-lingual sentence classification.

XNLI-ca is a collection of 7,500 sentence pairs annotated with textual entailment. 

XNLI is restricted to only non-commercial research purposes under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License. 

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Textual entailment, Text classification, Language Model

### Languages

The dataset is in Catalan (`ca-ES`).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Two JSON files, one for each split.

### Example:

<pre>
    
   {
    "label": "contradiction",
    "premise": "Bé, ni tan sols estava pensant en això, però estava molt frustrat i vaig acabar tornant a parlar amb ell.",
    "hypothesis": "No he tornat a parlar amb ell."
  },
  {
    "label": "entailment",
    "premise": "Bé, ni tan sols estava pensant en això, però estava molt frustrat i vaig acabar tornant a parlar amb ell.",
    "hypothesis": "Estava tan molest que vaig començar a parlar amb ell de nou."
  },
  {
    "label": "neutral",
    "premise": "Bé, ni tan sols estava pensant en això, però estava molt frustrat i vaig acabar tornant a parlar amb ell.",
    "hypothesis": "Vam tenir una gran xerrada."
  }
  
</pre>

### Data Fields

- premise: text
- hypothesis: text related to the premise
- label: relation between premise and hypothesis:
    * 0: entailment
    * 1: neutral
    * 2: contradiction
    
### Data Splits

* dev.json: 2490 examples
* test.json: 5010 examples

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

We created this dataset to contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.

### Source Data

[XNLI](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XNLI).

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

This dataset is a professional translation of XNLI into Catalan, commissioned by BSC LangTech Unit within Projecte AINA.


#### Who are the source language producers?

For more information on how XNLI was created, refer to the paper [XNLI: Evaluating Cross-lingual Sentence Representations](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.05053), or 
visit the [XNLI's webpage](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XNLI).


### Annotations

#### Annotation process

[N/A]

#### Who are the annotators?

This is a professional translation of the XNLI corpus and its annotations.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal or sensitive information included.
  
## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

We hope this dataset contributes to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.

### Discussion of Biases

[N/A]

### Other Known Limitations
