RO-STS-Corpus

Overview

RO-STS-Corpus is a Romanian Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) dataset designed for evaluating and training sentence embedding models. It contains pairs of Romanian sentences along with similarity scores that indicate the degree of semantic equivalence between them.

Dataset Structure

sentence1: The first sentence in the pair.
sentence2: The second sentence in the pair.
score: A numerical value representing the semantic similarity between the two sentences, normalized between 0 and 1.

Usage

This dataset can be used for:

Fine-tuning and evaluating sentence embedding models for Romanian.
Research on semantic textual similarity and natural language understanding (NLU) in Romanian.
Cross-lingual transfer learning experiments.

License

The license for this dataset will be specified in future updates.
