# cieaCOVA Dataset


**cieaCOVA** is a Valencian-language (va) evaluation dataset designed to benchmark large language models (LLMs) on structured reasoning and generative tasks. The dataset contains **1,982 curated examples** and is specifically developed for evaluation purposes — not for model training.

The dataset is organized into two task-oriented directories, each containing a train and test split:

* **`multiple_choice/`** (`train.parquet`, `test.parquet`) — multiple-choice question answering
* **`text_generation/`** (`train.parquet`, `test.parquet`) — open-ended text generation

All examples are written in **Valencian**, making cieaCOVA a valuable benchmark resource for assessing LLM performance in this language.


## Dataset Structure

The dataset contains **9 columns**, all stored as string type, except for `"Metadata"`:

* **Tarea**: Task category (e.g., reasoning, factual knowledge, classification).
* **Subtarea**: Sub-task category (specific values: "text", "oracions", "definició", "frase").
* **Instrucción**: The instruction provided to the model describing what it must do.
* **Pista**: An optional hint or supporting clue to guide reasoning (present in 698 out of 1,982 examples).
* **Pregunta**: The main question posed to the model.
* **Respuesta**: The correct or reference answer.
* **Opciones**: Multiple-choice options associated with the question.
* **Prompt**: The full constructed prompt, typically combining instruction, question, and context.
* **Metadata**: Additional structured information related to the example (e.g., category, difficulty, or source).

### Dataset Statistics

* **Total examples:** 1,982
* **Language:** Valencian (va)
* **Splits:** 4 task-specific parquet files across `train` and `test` splits (`multiple_choice` and `text_generation`)
* **Hint availability (`Pista`):** Present in 698 examples
* **Format:** Apache Parquet
## Design Principles

The dataset was curated under the following principles:

* Clear separation between instruction, question, and answer
* Consistent formatting of multiple-choice options
* Explicit reference answers for reproducibility
* Structured prompts to reduce ambiguity
* Linguistic consistency in Valencian
* Metadata support for filtered evaluation

Quality assurance procedures were applied to ensure structural consistency and minimize formatting errors.

## Intended Uses

cieaCOVA is intended exclusively for:

* Evaluating LLM performance in Valencian
* Benchmarking instruction-following models
* Measuring multiple-choice reasoning accuracy
* Analyzing generation quality under structured prompts
* Studying prompt sensitivity and evaluation reproducibility

### Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset is strictly for evaluation purposes.

It **must not be used for:**

* Pretraining
* Fine-tuning
* Reinforcement learning
* Dataset augmentation
* Any other form of model training

Access requires explicit agreement to these restrictions.

## Data Collection and Curation

The dataset has been curated to ensure:

* Structured and reusable prompt formatting
* Clean separation between model input and expected output
* Standardized evaluation across tasks

All content is written and validated in Valencian.
