# CLIcK (Cultural and Linguistic Intelligence in Korean)

Mirror of the original [CLIcK](https://github.com/rladmstn1714/CLIcK) benchmark (LREC-COLING 2024, [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.06412)) with the per-item subcategory and broad-category labels preserved.

The upstream HuggingFace mirror at [`EunsuKim/CLIcK`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EunsuKim/CLIcK) flattens every item into a single split and drops the category metadata that the paper uses. This mirror restores those labels by pulling each per-subcategory JSON file directly from the canonical GitHub repo and tagging each item with its source subcategory.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | str | Original CLIcK id (e.g. `KIIP_society_1`). Not unique on its own: 8 ids appear in two subcategories with different questions. |
| `paragraph` | str | Optional context paragraph; empty for most items. |
| `question` | str | Question stem. |
| `choices` | list[str] | 4 or 5 answer options. |
| `answer` | str | The literal text of the correct option (one of `choices`). |
| `subcategory` | str | One of 11 fine-grained subcategories (8 Culture + 3 Language). |
| `broad_category` | str | `Culture` or `Language`. |
| `source_file` | str | The original GitHub `.json` file name (e.g. `Society_KIIP.json`). |
