# COPAL

### Paper

Title: `COPAL-ID: Indonesian Language Reasoning with Local Culture and Nuances`

Abstract: `https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.01012`

`COPAL-ID is an Indonesian causal commonsense reasoning dataset that captures local nuances. It provides a more natural portrayal of day-to-day causal reasoning within the Indonesian (especially Jakartan) cultural sphere. Professionally written and validatid from scratch by natives, COPAL-ID is more fluent and free from awkward phrases, unlike the translated XCOPA-ID.`

### Checklist

For adding novel benchmarks/datasets to the library:
* [x] Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
  * [x] Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
  * [x] If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test?


If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:
