# Multilingual e-SNLI (MLe-SNLI)

In this repo, we provide the training, validation, and testing sets for **M**ulti**l**ingual **e-SNLI** (MLe-SNLI). For more details, find our report [here](https://github.com/rish-16/cs4248-project/blob/main/CS4248_Group19_Final_Report.pdf). 

## Dataset details
MLe-SNLI contains 500K training (`train`) samples of premise-hypothesis pairs along with their associated label and explanation. We take 100K training samples from the original e-SNLI (Camburu et al., 2018) dataset and translate them into 4 other languages (Spanish, German, Dutch, and French). We do the same for all 9824 testing (`test`) and validation (`dev`) samples, giving us 49120 samples for both `test` and `dev` splits.

| Column          | Description                                                                     |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `premise`       | Natural language premise sentence                                               |
| `hypothesis`    | Natural language hypothesis sentence                                            |
| `label`         | From `entailment`, `contradiction`, or `neutral`                                |
| `explanation_1` | Natural language justification for `label`                                      |
| `language`      | From English (`en`), Spanish (`es`), German (`de`), Dutch (`nl`), French (`fr`) |

> **WARNING:** the translation quality of MLe-SNLI may be compromised for some natural language samples because of quality issues in the original e-SNLI dataset that were not addressed in our [work](https://github.com/rish-16/cs4248-project). Use it at your own discretion.

## Download Instructions
To access MLe-SNLI, you can use the HuggingFace Datasets API to load the dataset:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

mle_snli = load_dataset("rish16/MLe-SNLI") # loads a DatasetDict object

train_data = mle_snli['train'] # 500K samples (100K per lang)
dev_data = mle_snli['dev'] # 49120 samples (9824 per lang)
test_data = mle_snli['test'] # 49120 samples (9824 per lang)

print (mle_snli)
