  # Cultural Riddles
84
 
85
- **Explore the results:** [Cultural Riddles dashboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/CohereLabsCommunity/CulturalRiddles)
86
-
87
- A community-built benchmark of original cultural riddles spanning **62 communities across 51 languages and 45 countries**, written by 166 native speakers. Each riddle describes something without ever naming it, so answering it requires genuine cultural knowledge rather than translation or web search. A native speaker would recognise the answer instantly; a model only succeeds if it carries that culture's knowledge.
88
 
89
- ## Dataset summary
90
 
91
- Most multilingual benchmarks are written in English and translated outward, which tests language but not culture. This benchmark inverts that. Native speakers from each community write their own riddles from scratch, using a shared English framework only as a starting point, not as a source to translate. The riddles are intentionally indirect: they use local nicknames, synonyms, and oblique description so that the answer cannot be reached by recognising a keyword. The goal is depth of cultural understanding, measured where today's models tend to be fluent but shallow.
92
 
93
- This release contains **6191 riddles** across 62 communities, of which 1234 come from community-chosen wildcard topics. It is intended for evaluation only.
 
 
 
 
 
94
 
95
  ## Why riddles
96
 
97
- A riddle names nothing. "This red-crossed sphere's juice is not sweet for your stomach" means nothing to a search engine, but every Hungarian recognises Unicum, a famous bitters. A model that only knows the formal name misses it entirely. Because each riddle is original, unpublished, and culturally specific, it resists both memorisation and reverse-engineering from training data, which gives the benchmark a longer useful life than fact-lookup tasks.
98
 
99
  ## Languages and communities
100
 
101
- The base unit is the present-day national-linguistic community, for example Spanish from Argentina or Bengali from India. 62 communities are represented across 51 languages. Languages outnumber communities because several communities share a language: Argentine, Cuban, and Peruvian riddles are all in Spanish but draw on three different cultures. That separation is the point of the benchmark.
102
 
103
- The benchmark grows over time. Each community carries a `release_version` marking the collection round it entered in (`v0` is the first round, `v1` the next, and so on), so results can be compared across releases.
104
 
105
- ## Dataset structure
 
106
 
107
- ### Data fields

- ### Splits
125
 
126
- A single `test` split of 6191 rows. `community`, `language`, and `topic` are columns to filter on, not separate splits.
127
 
128
- ## Loading the dataset
129
 
130
- ```python
131
- from datasets import load_dataset
132
-
133
- ds = load_dataset("CohereLabsCommunity/CulturalRiddles", split="test")

141
 
142
  ## Curation
143
 
144
- Every riddle is original human writing. Contributors are native speakers who write for their own community, following a shared format of topics and questions per topic. AI tools may be used for brainstorming or to test how hard a riddle is for a model, but the riddles themselves are written by people, not generated. English translations are provided for human reference and documentation only, never to present the riddle to a model. All riddles are free of personally identifiable information.
145
 
146
  ## Intended use and terms
147
 
148
- Released under **CC-BY-4.0**: you may share and adapt the data, including commercially, with attribution.
149
 
150
- **This data must not be used to train, fine-tune, or distill models, nor as seeds for synthetic data generation.** It is an evaluation benchmark. Using it as training data defeats its purpose and contaminates future measurement. Please respect this restriction in addition to the license.
151
 
152
  ## Content note
153
 
154
  Although we have filtered the dataset for harmful content, some riddles may still contain sensitive themes or potentially problematic ideas. These are presented solely as cultural and linguistic puzzles, not as endorsements of the views expressed or guidance for real-world behavior.
155
 
156
- Riddles flagged in a content review carry a short content note in their `riddle_note` field.
157
 
158
  ## Contributors
159
 
160
  This benchmark was proposed by **Károly Boczka** and **Julia Kreutzer**, and built by native-speaker contributors across the Cohere Labs Community.
161
 
162
- Per-community contributor credits will be added once every contributor has confirmed how they would like to be credited.
163
-
164
  ## Updates
165
 
166
- This card is regenerated from the dataset on each release, so the numbers above
167
- always reflect the current contents.
168
-
169
- - Current release spans 62 communities across collection
170
- rounds: `v0` (44 communities), `v1` (4 communities), `v2` (13 communities), `v3` (1 communities).
171
- - The Spanish/Cuba riddle `spanish_cuba_history_016` was corrected at source
172
- (the earlier version paired the riddle with a mismatched answer). The dataset
173
- carries the corrected riddle. Model results in the paper leave this riddle out,
174
- because the models only saw the earlier version. See
175
- `submissions/PUBLISHING.md` in the source repository for how corrections are
176
- handled.
177
- - After a content review, 8 riddles were removed and 5 were corrected (3
178
- reference answers and 2 riddle texts). One Mongondow riddle that was written
179
- in Indonesian was also removed. Each change is listed in
180
- `data_loading/dataset_corrections.csv` in the source repository.

220
 
221

222

  ## Updates
230
 
231
+ This card is generated from the [source repository](https://github.com/Cohere-Labs-Community/CulturalRiddles) on each release.
232
+
233
+ - This release adds the `model_answers`, `human_annotations`, and `models` tables. The riddles moved to `data/riddles.parquet` and no longer carry the `release_version` column.
234
+ - After a content review, some riddles were removed or corrected. Every change is listed in `data/corrections.csv` in the source repository.
