## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [PAWS-ca](https://zenodo.org/record/)
- **Point of Contact:** langtech@bsc.es

### Dataset Summary

The PAWS-ca dataset (Paraphrase Adversaries from Word Scrambling in Catalan) is a translation of the English PAWS dataset into Catalan, commissioned by BSC LangTech Unit.

The dataset contains 4,000 human translated PAWS pairs and 49,000 machine translated pairs.


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Paraphrase Identification, Language Model

### Languages

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

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Three JSON files, one for each split.

### Example:
<pre>
    
   {
       "id": 38
       "sentence1": Holly estava influenciat musicalment per Elton John.
       "sentence2": Holly Holly va ser influenciada musicalment per Elton John.
       "label": 1
    }
        
    {
        "id":
        "sentence1": L’equip va respondre als canvis en el següent partit el mateix vespre del 19 de febrer.
        "sentence2": L'equip va respondre als canvis en el mateix partit d’aquell següent 19 de febrer al vespre.
        "label": 0
     }
      
</pre>


### Data Fields

- id: An ID that matches the ID of the source pair of the English PAWS dataset
- sentence1: The first sentence
- sentence2: The second sentence
- label: Label for each pair



### Data Splits

* paws-ca.train.jsonl: 49,401 examples
* paws-ca.val.jsonl: 2,000 examples
* paws-ca.test.jsonl: 2,000 examples


> **Caveat**: please note that the dev and test sets of PAWS-X are both sourced
> from the dev set of PAWS-Wiki. As a consequence, the same `sentence 1` may
> appear in both the dev and test sets. Nevertheless our data split guarantees
> that there is no overlap on sentence pairs (`sentence 1` + `sentence 2`)
> between dev and test.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

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

### Source Data

PAWS (Paraphrase Adversaries from Word Scrambling)

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

This dataset is a translation the English PAWS dataset into Catalan, commissioned by BSC LangTech Unit within Projecte AINA.

#### Who are the source language producers?

For more information on how PAWS was created, refer to the paper (), or visit the [PAWS's webpage]().



### Annotations

#### Annotation process

[N/A]


#### Who are the annotators?

This is a translation of the English PAWS dataset 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

[N/A]
