## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [https://scifact.apps.allenai.org/](https://scifact.apps.allenai.org/)
- **Paper:** [Fact or Fiction: Verifying Scientific Claims](https://aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-main.609/)
### 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."
}
```
### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
#### claims
- `id`: a `int32` feature.
- `claim`: a `string` feature.
- `evidence_doc_id`: a `string` feature.
- `evidence_label`: a `string` feature.
- `evidence_sentences`: a `list` of `int32` features.
- `cited_doc_ids`: a `list` of `int32` features.
#### corpus
- `doc_id`: a `int32` feature.
- `title`: a `string` feature.
- `abstract`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `structured`: a `bool` feature.
