### Dataset Summary

This contains the the syntactic transformations datasets used in [Coloring the Blank Slate: Pre-training Imparts a Hierarchical Inductive Bias to Sequence-to-sequence Models](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-acl.106/). It consists of English and German question formation and passivization transformations. This dataset also contains zero-shot cross-lingual transfer training and evaluation data.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[Needs More Information]

### Languages

English and German.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

A typical data point consists of a source sequence ("src"), a target sequence ("tgt"), and a task prefix ("prefix"). The prefix indicates whether a given sequence should be kept the same in the target (indicated by the "decl:" prefix) or transformed into a question/passive ("quest:"/"passiv:", respectively). An example follows:

{"src": "the yak has entertained the walruses that have amused the newt.",
"tgt": "has the yak entertained the walruses that have amused the newt?",
"prefix": "quest: "
}

### Data Fields

- src: the original source sequence.
- tgt: the transformed target sequence.
- prefix: indicates which transformation to perform to map from the source to target sequences.

### Data Splits

The datasets are split into training, dev, test, and gen ("generalization") sets. The training sets are for fine-tuning the model. The dev and test sets are for evaluating model abilities on in-domain transformations. The generalization sets are for evaluating the inductive biases of the model.

NOTE: for the zero-shot cross-lingual transfer datasets, the generalization sets are split into in-domain and out-of-domain syntactic structures. For in-domain transformations, use "gen_rc_o" for question formation or "gen_pp_o" for passivization. For out-of-domain transformations, use "gen_rc_s" for question formation or "gen_pp_s" for passivization.
