### Dataset Summary

The JaNLI (Japanese Adversarial NLI) dataset, inspired by the English HANS dataset, is designed to necessitate an understanding of Japanese linguistic phenomena and to illuminate the vulnerabilities of models.

### Languages

The language data in JaNLI is in Japanese (BCP-47 [ja-JP](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp47)).

### Annotations

The annotation process for this Japanese NLI dataset involves tagging each pair (P, H) of a premise and hypothesis with a label for structural pattern and linguistic phenomenon.
The structural relationship between premise and hypothesis sentences is classified into five patterns, with each pattern associated with a type of heuristic that can lead to incorrect predictions of the entailment relation.
Additionally, 11 categories of Japanese linguistic phenomena and constructions are focused on for generating the five patterns of adversarial inferences.

For each linguistic phenomenon, a template for the premise sentence P is fixed, and multiple templates for hypothesis sentences H are created.
In total, 144 templates for (P, H) pairs are produced.
Each pair of premise and hypothesis sentences is tagged with an entailment label (entailment or non-entailment), a structural pattern, and a linguistic phenomenon label.

The JaNLI dataset is generated by instantiating each template 100 times, resulting in a total of 14,400 examples.
The same number of entailment and non-entailment examples are generated for each phenomenon.
The structural patterns are annotated with the templates for each linguistic phenomenon, and the ratio of entailment and non-entailment examples is not necessarily 1:1 for each pattern.
The dataset uses a total of 158 words (nouns and verbs), which occur more than 20 times in the JSICK and JSNLI datasets.
