CLAMS - Cross-Linguistic Assessment of Models on Syntax

Dataset Description

CLAMS (Cross-Linguistic Assessment of Models on Syntax) is a dataset of syntactic minimal pairs for English, French, German, Hebrew, and Russian. The dataset contains grammaticality judgment pairs (good/bad sentence pairs) for various syntactic phenomena, designed to evaluate language models' syntactic knowledge across different languages.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains minimal pairs for 5 languages, each organized as separate subsets:

  • en (English): Syntactic minimal pairs for English
  • fr (French): Syntactic minimal pairs for French
  • de (German): Syntactic minimal pairs for German
  • he (Hebrew): Syntactic minimal pairs for Hebrew
  • ru (Russian): Syntactic minimal pairs for Russian

Fields

  • sentence_good: The grammatical sentence
  • sentence_bad: The ungrammatical sentence
  • test_case: The specific syntactic test case name (filename without extension)
  • pair_id: Unique identifier for the minimal pair within the test case
  • good_line: Original line number of the good sentence
  • bad_line: Original line number of the bad sentence

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load specific language
dataset = load_dataset("juletxara/clams", "en")

# Or load all languages
dataset = load_dataset("juletxara/clams")

# Access specific language data
english_data = dataset['en']

# Example usage
for example in english_data:
    print(f"Good: {example['sentence_good']}")
    print(f"Bad: {example['sentence_bad']}")
    print(f"Test case: {example['test_case']}")
    print()
