We find that providing candidate senses, as in traditional WSD, improves WiC performance in all settings, and that

explicit sense information helps models make more consistent and targeted judgements. Human evaluation further shows

that many apparent WiC errors reflect label ambiguity or mismatches between model and annotator sense boundaries

rather than failures of lexical understanding. In particular, LLMs tend to overthink the sense distinction, often

leading to errors based on overly fine-grained distinctions.

This repository contains two Word-in-Context (WiC) evaluation datasets. Given two sentences that contain the same
|
| 40 |
+
target word, the task is to decide whether the word has the **same meaning** in both (`True`) or **different
|
| 41 |
+
meanings** (`False`). The two datasets differ in the granularity of the sense distinctions they encode, as
|
| 42 |
+
illustrated above for the word *club*:
|
| 43 |
+
|

+
- **Coarse-grained WiC**: 2,798 sentence pairs over 20 ambiguous nouns, built from CoarseWSD-20 by pairing
|
| 45 |
+
sentences with the same target word and comparing their coarse-grained sense labels.
|
| 46 |
+
- **Fine-grained WiC**: 1,185 sentence pairs over 924 target words, newly constructed from WordNet 3.1 noun and verb
|
| 47 |
+
entries. Each instance also includes the WordNet definition of the target word in each sentence.
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |

Both datasets are evaluation sets and are released as a single `test` split.
