What it measures

Two English sentences, automatically pulled from online news sources, with a human annotation for whether they are semantically equivalent -- a paraphrase judgement, not a similarity score. The task is binary sentence-pair classification: given both sentences, decide equivalent or not. The classes are imbalanced (68% positive, per the GLUE paper), which is why GLUE scores MRPC by the mean of accuracy and F1 rather than accuracy alone.

Task format

Binary sentence-pair classification (equivalent / not equivalent), commonly cast by harnesses as a two-way multiple-choice or yes/no generation task. Scored by the mean of accuracy and F1.
