## Dataset Description
GAND (Gender-Ambiguous Natural Data) is a benchmarking resource for evaluating gender (bias) in machine translation or downstream NLP tasks. 
The data stems purely from natural data resources (OpenSubtitles from the [OPUS project](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) and [C4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/c4)).
The data has been meticulously (automatically + manually) filtered to ensure complete gender ambiguity with respect to a specific referent.
More information on the compilation of GAND can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/jhacken/GAND/tree/main).

## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("jhacken/GAND")
```

## Train, dev, test split
- Train set: 4037 rows
- Dev set: 505 rows
- Test set: 505 rows

## Dataset Structure
| referent | EN_source_sentence | referent_embedding | sentence_source |

| assistant | No one' s permitted to enter the library... other than myself and my assistant. | female_embedding_list | OpenSubtitles |
| specialist | As a social media specialist with a million things on your plate, you might not have been aware that citrus was all the rage atm. | LLM_neutral_list | C4 |
