SpanEx consists of 7071 instances annotated for span interactions.
SpanEx is the first dataset with human phrase-level interaction explanations with explicit labels for interaction types. 
Moreover, SpanEx is annotated by three annotators, which opens new avenues for studies of human explanation agreement -- an understudied area in the explainability literature. 
Our study reveals that while human annotators often agree on span interactions, they also offer complementary reasons for a prediction, collectively providing a comprehensive set of reasons for a prediction.
We collect explanations of span interactions for NLI on the SNLI dataset and for FC on the FEVER dataset.
