Live leaderboard at . > Background: [Release of BalkanBench - the vision behind it > (Medium, 2026-04-27)](https://medium.com/@permitt/release-of-balkanbench-vision-behind-it-fd1ba73be411). This is the **Croatian SuperGLUE** released preview track of BalkanBench v0.1. Croatian publishes alongside Serbian (the official frozen track) and Montenegrin as a 5-task preview: same scoring contract, same private test labels, no WSC adaptation yet. ## What's inside 5 task configs, full train + validation + public test splits (train and validation labelled here; the **test split lives only in the gated sibling repo**, see below): | Config | What it tests | Train | Validation | Test | |---------|----------------------------------------------------------|------:|-----------:|------:| | boolq | Yes/no question answering over passages | 9,427 | 3,270 | 3,245 | | cb | 3-way textual entailment (entail / contradict / neutral) | 250 | 56 | 250 | | copa | Causal reasoning between two alternatives | 400 | 100 | 500 | | multirc | Multi-sentence reading comprehension (multiple correct) | 27,243| 4,848 | 9,693 | | rte | Binary textual entailment | 2,490 | 277 | 3,000 | | **TOTAL** | | **39,810** | **8,551** | **16,688** | Total: **65,049 items**. WSC and the AX-b/AX-g diagnostics are Serbian-only in v0.1 - they may be added in a later release once a Croatian adaptation is available. **COPA source attribution**: the `copa` config is adapted from [classla/copa_hr](https://huggingface.co/datasets/classla/copa_hr) (COPA-HR, CLARIN.SI, CC-BY-SA-4.0), the Croatian COPA released by the CLASSLA team as part of the CLARIN.SI South Slavic COPA family alongside COPA-SR and COPA-MK. See the Citation section at the end of this card for the full reference. ## Test split is gated The `test` split for every config lives **only in the gated sibling repo** (both inputs and labels): [`permitt/superglue-hr-private`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/permitt/superglue-hr-private), and are accessed only by the official scoring pipeline. To get a leaderboard score you generate predictions on the public test inputs with `balkanbench predict`, then submit through the [submission flow](https://balkanbench.com). ## Loading ```python from datasets import load_dataset boolq = load_dataset("permitt/superglue-hr", "boolq") print(boolq["train"][0]) # All ranked tasks for cfg in ["boolq", "cb", "copa", "rte", "multirc"]: ds = load_dataset("permitt/superglue-hr", cfg) print(cfg, {sp: len(ds[sp]) for sp in ds}) ``` Pin a revision for reproducible runs: ```python load_dataset("permitt/superglue-hr", "boolq", revision="v0.1.0-data") ``` ## Schema Each example carries an integer row id `idx` and the task-specific input fields plus a `label` column. For `cb`: ```python { "idx": 0, "premise": "Polly je morala brzo razmišljati. ...", "hypothesis": "Polly nije bila iskusna oceanska jedriličarka", "label": 0, # 0=entailment, 1=contradiction, 2=neutral } ``` Per-task field lists are documented in the BalkanBench source repo. ## Methodology - **Translation**: original SuperGLUE English -> Croatian via translation + human verification by native speakers. - **Frozen splits**: train/validation/test row counts and IDs pinned at tag `v0.1.0-data`. - **Test labels stay private**: see the gated sibling repo above. ## License CC-BY-4.0 (matches the original SuperGLUE source license). Note: the `copa` config is adapted from a CC-BY-SA-4.0 source (classla/copa_hr, see Citation below); redistribution of that config should retain the ShareAlike attribution. ## Sponsor Compute for the official v0.1 evaluation is sponsored by **[Recrewty](https://recrewty.com)**. ## Links - Live leaderboard: - Project home: - Background: [Release of BalkanBench - the vision behind it (Medium)](https://medium.com/@permitt/release-of-balkanbench-vision-behind-it-fd1ba73be411) - Source code: - Sibling tracks: [SuperGLUE-SR (Serbian, official)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/permitt/superglue-sr) · [SuperGLUE-MNE (Montenegrin)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/permitt/superglue-mne) - Private (gated) labels: ## Citation If you use this dataset, please cite the Serbian SuperGLUE paper (which introduces the BCMS adaptation methodology used here), the original SuperGLUE paper, and the BalkanBench release.
