AMAMMERε Overview
The AMAMMERε Dataset delves into the subtle cultural biases present in common sense reasoning datasets, highlighting predominantly Western or U.S.-centric perspectives. By comparing cultural commonsense reasoning between Ghana (representing a low-resource language group) and the USA, this dataset shows the differences in daily activities such as shopping, meal planning, and transportation across these distinct cultural contexts.
Highlights:
525 Questions: Curated from existing commonsense datasets and adapted to reflect Ghanaian and U.S. cultural settings, emphasizing cultural disparities.
Multiple Formats: Available in CSV, Excel, and JSONL formats
Validated Annotations: Reviewed by human annotators from both the USA and Ghana to ensure accuracy and cultural relevance.
