**CausalGym** is a benchmark for comparing the performance of causal interpretability methods
on a variety of simple linguistic tasks taken from the SyntaxGym evaluation set
([Gauthier et al., 2020](https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-demos.10/), [Hu et al., 2020](https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-main.158/))
and converted into a format suitable for interventional interpretability.
The dataset includes train/dev/test splits (exactly as used in the experiments in the paper).
The `base`/`src` columns are the prompts on which intervention is done. Each of these is a list of strings,
with each string being a span in the template which is aligned by index and may have an unequal number
of tokens. The `base_label` and `src_label` columns are the ground truth next-token predictions that we
train/evaluate on, and the `base_type` and `src_type` columns indicate the class (always binary) of the prompts.
Finally, the `task` column indicates which task this row is from. You should train separately on each task since
each one studies a different linguistic feature.
