| The LAMBADA dataset: Word prediction requiring a broad discourse context | |
| https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.06031.pdf | |
| LAMBADA is a dataset to evaluate the capabilities of computational models for text | |
| understanding by means of a word prediction task. LAMBADA is a collection of narrative | |
| passages sharing the characteristic that human subjects are able to guess their last | |
| word if they are exposed to the whole passage, but not if they only see the last | |
| sentence preceding the target word. To succeed on LAMBADA, computational models | |
| cannot simply rely on local context, but must be able to keep track of information | |
| in the broader discourse. | |

| ### Groups and Tasks | |
| #### Groups | |
| * `lambada_multilingual`: Evaluates all `lambada_mt_X` tasks | |
| #### Tasks | |
| * `lambada_mt_{en, fr, de, it, es}`: Machine-translated versions of OpenAI's Lambada variant. | |
| ### Checklist | |
| * [x] Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature? | |
| * [x] Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task? | |
| * [x] If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test? | |
| (This task is novel to the Evaluation Harness, and has been checked against v0.3.0 of the harness.) | |
| If other tasks on this dataset are already supported: | |
| * [x] Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted? | |
| * [x] Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates? | |
| * [x] Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant? | |
