Dataset Card for "Idiomolgy - Idiom Detection Dataset"

Dataset Description

General Information

This dataset is created for the purpose of training and evaluating language models, particularly focusing on their ability to identify idiomatic expressions within sentences. It aims to improve natural language understanding systems in recognizing idioms in varied contexts.

Usage Example

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("SnehitVaddi/Idiomology_Lama2_7B_Chat")

Dataset Structure

Entries in this dataset consist of sentences incorporating idioms, paired with annotations identifying the idiomatic expressions used. The dataset is organized into training and testing sets, adhering to an 80/20 split.

How to Use the Dataset

For Model Training

Utilize the training set to fine-tune language models on idiom detection tasks. Models should learn to accurately predict the idiom present in a given sentence context.

For Model Evaluation

Employ the test set to assess the model's idiom identification capabilities. Model performance can be evaluated using standard metrics such as accuracy or F1 score.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The need for nuanced understanding of context and figurative language in natural language processing motivated the curation of this dataset, focusing on the challenge of idiom detection.

Source

This dataset was generated from a compiled list of idioms and their illustrative sentences, designed to reflect real-life applications of these expressions.

Dataset Structure

Data Fields

  • sentence_with_idiom: A sentence incorporating an idiom.
  • idiom_annotation: The annotation of the idiom present in the sentence, provided in various phrasings to reflect natural language variation.

Data Splits

  • Training Set: Constitutes 80% of the dataset, intended for model training.
  • Test Set: Makes up 20% of the dataset, used for evaluating model efficacy.

Dataset Challenges

Idiom Variability

The figurative nature and context-dependent usage of idioms introduce challenges in consistently identifying them within diverse sentences.

Annotation Diversity

The dataset's varied phrasing styles for idiom annotations demand that models generalize across different expressions of the same idea.
