# Interpretable Semantic Textual Similarity
# Based on Agirre et al., SemEval 2016
# Paper: https://aclanthology.org/S16-1082/
# Dataset: http://ixa2.si.ehu.eus/stswiki/
#
# This task asks annotators to assess semantic similarity between
# sentence pairs at a fine-grained level. Annotators highlight aligned
# chunks and rate the overall similarity on a 6-point scale.
#
# Span Labels:
# - Aligned Chunk: A text chunk that corresponds to content in the other sentence
#
# Similarity Scale (Likert 1-6):
# 1 = Completely Different (no semantic overlap)
# 6 = Identical Meaning (same meaning, possibly different wording)

annotation_instructions: |
  You will be shown two sentences. Your task is to:
  1. Highlight chunks in Sentence 1 that correspond to content in Sentence 2.
  2. Rate the overall semantic similarity between the two sentences on a 1-6 scale.
  Consider both the meaning and the information conveyed by each sentence.
