# RAW-C: Relatedness of Ambiguous Words in Context

RAW-C contains relatedness judgments about ambiguous words in minimal pair contexts, e.g.,  
*"She liked the marinated lamb" vs. "She liked the friendly lamb"*.  
The dataset was originally published in [ACL 2021](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.550/).

- 672 sentence pairs total  
- 112 words (2 senses each, 2 sentences per sense)  
- Annotated for **Same vs. Different Sense**, and for **Polysemy vs. Homonymy**
- Crowd-sourced **relatedness judgments**

## Dataset Format

**Main file:** `raw-c.csv`  
Key columns:

- `word`: Target word  
- `sentence1`, `sentence2`: The sentence pair being contrasted  
- `same`: Whether the target word has the same or different meaning across sentences  
- `ambiguity_type`: Polysemy or Homonymy  
- `mean_relatedness`: Mean relatedness score across human participants  
- `string`: The actual surface form of the word in context  
- `count`: Number of annotators  
- `sd_relatedness`: Standard deviation of human ratings  
- `dominance_sentence2`: Mean dominance of sentence 2 relative to sentence 1  
- `sd_dominance_sentence2`: Standard deviation of dominance ratings  

> Dominance ratings are included only for Different Sense pairs.
