### Scifact Corpus Source
SciFact is a dataset of 1.4K expert-written scientific claims paired with evidence-containing abstracts, and annotated with labels and rationales.
This config has abstracts and document ids.
### Scifact Claims Source
{_DESCRIPTION_BASE} This config connects the claims to the evidence and doc ids.
### Scifact Rationale Bigbio Pairs
{_DESCRIPTION_BASE} This task is the following: given a claim and a text span composed of one or more sentences from an abstract, predict a label from ("rationale", "not_rationale") indicating if the span is evidence (can be supporting or refuting) for the claim. This roughly corresponds to the second task outlined in Section 5 of the paper."
