The ClaimDiff dataset includes 2,941 claim pairs extracted from 274 articles with 137 topics. We extract the pairs from a group of articles sharing the same topic, released by multiple presses. The diverse views on contentious topics can be obtained by collecting the claims written by different authors and presses. We present the ClaimDiff dataset as ClaimDiff-S and ClaimDiff-W, which is as follows:

🗃 ClaimDiff

├── 📁 ClaimDiff-S
│   ├── ClaimDiff-strength-train.json
│   ├── ClaimDiff-strength-test.json
│   └── ClaimDiff-strength-test-full.json
├── 📁 ClaimDiff-W
│   ├── ClaimDiff-weak-train.json
│   ├── ClaimDiff-weak-test.json
│   └── ClaimDiff-weak-test-full.json
└── annotation_result_unfiltered.json

We release our main ClaimDiff dataset {Train, Test} along with an additional Test-full dataset. Test-full can be considered an unfiltered test dataset to encounter the real-world distribution over whole articles, resulting in a high ratio of unrelated pairs.

ClaimDiff-{strength,weak}-{train,test,test-full}.json files contains a list of dictionary that represents a single instance, with the following keys:

{
	"topic": "str(Topic of the claim pair)",
	"date": "str(Published date of Article A)",
	"pair_id": "str(Unique pair ID)",
	"claim_a": "str(Claim A from Article A, c_1)",
	"claim_b": "str(Claim B from Article B, c_2)",
	"article_a": "str(Title of Article A)",
	"article_b": "str(Title of Article B)",
	"relation": "int(0 or 1)",
	"rationale": "List[str]",
}

annotation_result_unfiltered.json files contain a list of items with average response score before filtering. This list also includes examples with average scores between (-0.5, 0.5).
