SWAG Dataset

What is SWAG Dataset?

The SWAG (Situations With Adversarial Generations) dataset comprises 113,000 multiple-choice questions covering a wide range of grounded scenarios and is taken from two consecutive video captions in the ActivityNet Captions database, as well as the Large Scale Movie Description Challenge. This dataset is created using adversarial filtering. SWAG dataset can be used in the research toward commonsense NLI.

Download SWAG Dataset in Python

Instead of downloading the SWAG dataset in Python, you can effortlessly load it in Python via our Deep Lake open-source with just one line of code.

SWAG Dataset Structure

SWAG Data Fields

For the training and validation set

video_id: tensor that contains video id.
fold_ind: tensor that contains fold id.
start_phrase: tensor containing the start phrase of the context.
gold_ending: tensor containing better ending.
distractor_0: tensor containing the first distractor. The answer with the first distractor is considered to have the best quality.
distractor_1: tensor containing the second distractor.
distractor_2: tensor containing the third distractor.
distractor_3: tensor containing the fourth distractor. The answer with the fourth distractor is considered to have the lowest quality.
gold_source: tensor containing labels gold and gen. gen indicates generated best answer and gold indicates the real answer which is considered as the second best.
gold_type: label containing values ‘pos’ and ‘unl’
distractor_0_type: label containing values ‘pos’ and ‘unl’
distractor_1_type: label containing values ‘pos’ and ‘unl’
distractor_2_type: label containing values ‘pos’ and ‘unl’
distractor_3_type: label containing values ‘n/a’, ‘pos’ and ‘unl’
sentence_1: tensor containing the first sentence.
sentence_2: tensor containing the second sentence.

For the test set

video_id: tensor that contains video id.
fold_ind: tensor that contains fold id.
start_phrase: tensor containing the start phrase of the context.
gold_source: tensor containing labels gold and gen. gen indicates generated best answer and gold indicates the real answer which is considered as the second best.
ending0: tensor containing first ending.
ending1: tensor containing second ending.
ending2: tensor containing third ending.
ending3: tensor containing fourth ending.
sentence_1: tensor containing the first sentence.
sentence_2: tensor containing the second sentence

SWAG Data Splits

The SWAG dataset train set was composed of 73,000 multiple-choice questions about grounded situations.
The SWAG dataset validation set was composed of 20,000 multiple-choice questions about grounded situations.
The SWAG dataset test set was composed of 20,000 multiple choice questions about grounded situations for the (blind) test.

How to use SWAG Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on SWAG dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line data loader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on SWAG dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()

SWAG Dataset Creation

Source Data

Data Collection and Normalization Information

The dataset was created by taking two consecutive video captions from the ActivityNet Captions website and the LSMD challenge. These datasets differ somewhat in nature and allow us to attain larger coverage. A constituency parser is utilized to break the second sentence into noun and verb phrases for every pair of captions. Each question has a gold manually-validated ending and three distractors.
