This is a synthetic Faroese Semantic Textual Similarity dataset. Labels range from 0 (no similarity) to 5 (the two sentences are completely equivalent).
The dataset was generated by:
- Translating sentences from the Basic Faroese Language Resource Kit (BLARK) corpus to English by leveraging a Nordic LLM, GPT-Sw3.
- Sentences were compared to each other in terms of semantic similarity by Sentence BERT (SBERT, )
- Pairs of sentences were then sampled uniformly in terms of similarity score, to compile a balanced dataset.
The dataset contains 200 sentences for each class (Similarity = 0,1,2,3,4,5).
