DiPlomat

Pragmatic reasoning plays a pivotal role in deciphering implicit meanings that frequently arise in real-life conversations and is essential for the development of communicative social agents. In this paper, we introduce a novel challenge, DiPlomat, aiming at benchmarking machines’ capabilities on pragmatic reasoning and situated conversational understanding. Compared with previous works that treat different figurative expressions (e.g. metaphor, sarcasm) as individual tasks, DiPlomat provides a cohesive framework towards general pragmatic understanding.

Dataset Details

The DiPlomat dataset owns 4,177 data and covers a vocabulary of 48,900 words. More than that, human-annotated answers reach an amount of 6,494, hold a vocabulary size of 20,000, and cover 5 types of reasoning. Along with the dataset, we propose two tasks:
Pragmatic Identification and Reasoning (PIR) and Conversational Question Answering. Furthermore, we provide the data that we use for zero-NLI in the paper.

Dataset Structure

We provide 5 fields. PIR_first_subtask_dataset, PIR_second_subtask_datasetis for the pragmatic identification and reasoning (PIR) task, and CQA_task_dataset is for the conversational question answering (CQA) task. As for NLI_task_dataset and NLI_dataset_without_context, they are data for zero-NLI, while the latter is a context-removed version.

Dataset Creation

Source Data

We leverage the data of INTERVIEW dataset collected by Majumder et al as our source.

Annotating Process

Step I. Automatic Selection:

The extensive size of the source dataset introduces redundancy, and thus requires automatic measures to alleviate the burden of human annotation. Therefore, we employ algorithms and models to perform an initial filtering process.

Step II. Fine-grained Annotation:

We leverage Amazon Mechanical Turk to conduct detailed annotations of pragmatic turns within our dialogues. Workers participating in the annotation task are instructed to select all turns that exhibit a divergence between their literal meaning and their intended meaning. Due to the subjective nature of pragmatic reasoning, we request the workers to provide confidence scores along with reasons for their choices.

Step III. Human Refinement:

In this process, tasks for workers are formulated as multiple-choice questions. Previously collected human-annotated reasons are transformed into choices, utilizing a template format: [turn {turn_id}: {reason}]. In addition, to mitigate the impact of careless workers, we introduce a distractor choice for each gold choice.
