Dataset Card for ARC_Challenge_Swahili

Dataset Summary

ARC_Challenge_Swahili is a Swahili translation of the original English ARC (AI2 Reasoning Challenge) dataset. This dataset evaluates the ability of AI systems to answer grade-school level multiple-choice science questions. The Swahili version was created using a combination of machine translation and human annotation to ensure high-quality and accurate translations.

Translation Methodology

The translation process for the ARC_Challenge_Swahili dataset involved two main stages:

Machine Translation:

1. The initial translation from English to Swahili was performed using the SeamlessM4TModel translation model.

• The following parameters were used for the translation:

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1024).to(device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, tgt_lang=dest_lang)
translation = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)

2. Human Verification and Annotation:

• After the initial machine translation, the translations were passed through GPT-3.5 for verification. This step involved checking the quality of the translations and identifying any that were not up to standard.
• Human translators reviewed and annotated the translations flagged by GPT-3.5 as problematic to ensure accuracy and naturalness in Swahili.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

• multiple-choice: The dataset supports multiple-choice question-answering tasks.

Languages

The dataset is in Swahili.
