Dataset Description

• Homepage: https://scifact.apps.allenai.org/
• Paper: Fact or Fiction: Verifying Scientific Claims

Dataset Summary

SciFact.

This is a dataset of expert-written scientific claims paired with evidence-containing abstracts and annotated with labels and rationales.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

claims

• Size of downloaded dataset files: 2.72 MB
• Size of the generated dataset: 0.25 MB
• Total amount of disk used: 2.97 MB

An example of 'validation' looks as follows.

{
    "cited_doc_ids": [14717500],
    "claim": "1,000 genomes project enables mapping of genetic sequence variation consisting of rare variants with larger penetrance effects than common variants.",
    "evidence_doc_id": "14717500",
    "evidence_label": "SUPPORT",
    "evidence_sentences": [2, 5],
    "id": 3
}

corpus

• Size of downloaded dataset files: 2.72 MB
• Size of the generated dataset: 7.63 MB
• Total amount of disk used: 10.35 MB

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "abstract": "[\"Alterations of the architecture of cerebral white matter in the developing human brain can affect cortical development and res...",
    "doc_id": 4983,
    "structured": false,
    "title": "Microstructural development of human newborn cerebral white matter assessed in vivo by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging."
}
