In this paper we propose a large-scale Chinese cloze test dataset ChID, which studies the comprehension of idiom, a unique language phenomenon in Chinese. In this corpus, the idioms in a passage are replaced by blank symbols and the correct answer needs to be chosen from well-designed candidate idioms. We carefully study how the design of candidate idioms and the representation of idioms affect the performance of state-of-the-art models. Results show that the machine accuracy is substantially worse than that of human, indicating a large space for further research.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.01265v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.01265v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"chid-a-large-scale-chinese-idiom-dataset-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/chujiezheng/ChID-Dataset","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"Apache-2.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"cloze-test","task_name":"Cloze Test"},{"task_slug":"reading-comprehension","task_name":"Reading Comprehension"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"chid","name":"ChID","full_name":"Chinese IDiom dataset"}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1906.01265","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1906.01265","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
