### Dataset Information

- **[CreataSet-ext_112965.jsonl](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Aman/CreataSet/blob/main/CreataSet-ext_112965.jsonl)**:

  This file contains all the data of CreataSet-Ext (train & validation). The keys of each sample are:

  ```
  {
    "source": str, # the source of the sample
    "title": str, # the title of the output ("" if N/A) 
    "instruction": str,
    "output": str, # the answer (human-level) to the instruction
    "gen_resp_order": ["MiniCPM-2B-n", "MiniCPM-2B-c", "Qwen2.5-14B-n", "Qwen2.5-14B-c"],
      # the id order of the following keys "gen_resp_1", ... ("-n"=Prompt_ordinary, "-c"=Prompt_creative)
    "gen_resp_*": str, # the sythetic responses using different models and prompts
    "gen_resp_minicpm_tie_cleaned": list, # the sythetic tie responses using MiniCPM-2B
    "gen_resp_qwen_tie_cleaned": list, # the sythetic tie responses using Qwen2.5-14B
    "domain": str
  }
  ```

- **[CreataSet-test_with_labeling_400.jsonl](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Aman/CreataSet/blob/main/CreataSet-test_with_labeling_400.jsonl)**:

  This file contains 400 distinct test samples along with their creativity scores from 30 annotators.

  ```
  {
    # keys the same as the above
    "avg_score": list, # the average rating scores of [output, gen_resp_*]
    "labeling": list, # the rating scores of all the 30 annotators [output, gen_resp_*]
  }
  ```

- **[train_300k.json](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Aman/CreataSet/blob/main/train_300k.json)**

  The paired training samples (from CreataSet-ext_112965.jsonl) used for training CrEval (More data may not bring further improvement. See Fig.8 in our paper).

- **[test_paired_3196.jsonl](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Aman/CreataSet/blob/main/test_paired_3196.jsonl)**:

  The paired test samples (from CreataSet-test_with_labeling_400.jsonl) used for meta-evaluation of CrEval.




### Brief Intro

We introduce **CreataSet**, a large-scale dataset of over **1M** creative instruction-response pairs across **87** domains. This dataset can facilitate the meta-evaluation of pairwise comparison models for assessing text creativity. Also, this dataset can be used for training creative generation models. More details please refer to our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19236).
