Swedish Causality Ranking Dataset

Causality ranking dataset for Swedish text, comparing sentence pairs on how well they match a causal prompt.

Dataset Description

This dataset contains pairs of Swedish sentences annotated on a 6-point scale for their causal relevance to a given prompt containing a cause or effect.

Fields

prompt: Query containing a cause or effect (e.g., "Verkan: växthuseffekt")
sentence_1_left_context: Context before sentence 1
sentence_1_target: First target sentence
sentence_1_right_context: Context after sentence 1
sentence_2_left_context: Context before sentence 2
sentence_2_target: Second target sentence
sentence_2_right_context: Context after sentence 2
annotation: Ranking score (1-6 scale)

Annotation Scale

The 6-point scale compares which sentence better expresses a causal relation matching the prompt:

Lower scores: Sentence 1 is more relevant
Higher scores: Sentence 2 is more relevant
Middle scores: Both sentences are similarly relevant

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("UppsalaNLP/swedish-causality-ranking")

# Access the data
data = dataset["train"]

# Example
print(data[0]["prompt"])
print(data[0]["sentence_1_target"])
print(data[0]["sentence_2_target"])
print(data[0]["annotation"])
