  • Description:
TimeDial presents a crowdsourced English challenge set, for temporal commonsense reasoning, formulated
as a multiple choice cloze task with around 1.5k carefully curated dialogs. The dataset is derived from
the DailyDialog (Li et al., 2017), which is a multi-turn dialog corpus.

In order to establish strong baselines and provide information on future model development, we
conducted extensive experiments with state-of-the-art LMs. While humans can easily answer these
questions (97.8%), the best T5 model variant struggles on this challenge set (73%). Moreover, our
qualitative error analyses show that the models often rely on shallow, spurious features (particularly text
matching), instead of truly doing reasoning over the context.
