XCOPA

Introduced by Edoardo Maria Ponti et al. in XCOPA: A Multilingual Dataset for Causal Commonsense Reasoning archive 2025-07-28

The Cross-lingual Choice of Plausible Alternatives (XCOPA) dataset is a benchmark to evaluate the ability of machine learning models to transfer commonsense reasoning across languages. The dataset is the translation and reannotation of the English COPA (Roemmele et al. 2011) and covers 11 languages from 11 families and several areas around the globe. The dataset is challenging as it requires both the command of world knowledge and the ability to generalise to new languages.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

5 shown of 5 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 110. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
