Challenge: Existing benchmark datasets for natural language inference and semantic textual similarity (STS) are not available in the Korean language.
Approach: They construct and release new datasets for Korean NLI and STS . they machine-translate existing English training sets and manually translate development and test sets into Korean to accelerate research on Korean NLU.
Outcome: The proposed datasets are available at https://github.com/kakaobrain/KorNLUDatasets.
