# Dataset Card for CANLI


### Dataset Summary
[CANLI: The Chinese Causative-Passive Homonymy Disambiguation: an Adversarial Dataset for NLI and a Probing Task](http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2022/pdf/2022.lrec-1.460.pdf)

The disambiguation of causative-passive homonymy (CPH) is potentially tricky for machines, as the causative and the passive
are not distinguished by the sentences syntactic structure. By transforming CPH disambiguation to a challenging natural
language inference (NLI) task, we present the first Chinese Adversarial NLI challenge set (CANLI). We show that the pretrained
transformer model RoBERTa, fine-tuned on an existing large-scale Chinese NLI benchmark dataset, performs poorly on CANLI.
We also employ Word Sense Disambiguation as a probing task to investigate to what extent the CPH feature is captured in
the models internal representation. We find that the models performance on CANLI does not correspond to its internal
representation of CPH, which is the crucial linguistic ability central to the CANLI dataset.
