+## XNLI
+
+Based on the script [`run_xnli.py`](TODO).
+
+[XNLI](https://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/xnli/) is crowd-sourced dataset based on [MultiNLI](http://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/multinli/). It is an evaluation benchmark for cross-lingual text representations. Pairs of text are labeled with textual entailment annotations for 15 different languages (including both high-ressource language such as English and low-ressource languages such as Swahili).
+
+#### Fine-tuning on XNLI
+
+This example code fine-tunes mBERT (multi-lingual BERT) on the XNLI dataset. It runs in TODO min
+on a single tesla V100 16GB. The data for XNLI can be downloaded with the following links and should be both saved (and un-zipped) in a 
+`$XNLI_DIR` directory.
+
+* [XNLI 1.0](https://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/xnli/XNLI-1.0.zip)
+* [XNLI-MT 1.0](https://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/xnli/XNLI-MT-1.0.zip)
