Question: What datasets are used in training?
Evidence: Arab-Tweet. For modeling age and gender, we use Arap-Tweet BIBREF19 , which we will refer to as Arab-Tweet. Arab-tweet is a tweet dataset of 11 Arabic regions from 17 different countries. For each region, data from 100 Twitter users were crawled. Users needed to have posted at least 2,000 and were selected based on an initial list of seed words characteristic of each region. The seed list included words such as <برشة> /barsha/ ‘many’ for Tunisian Arabic and <وايد> /wayed/ ‘many’ for Gulf Arabic. BIBREF19 employed human annotators to verify that users do belong to each respective region. Annotators also assigned gender labels from the set male, female and age group labels from the set under-25, 25-to34, above-35 at the user-level, which in turn is assigned at tweet level. Tweets with less than 3 words and re-tweets were removed. Refer to BIBREF19 for details about how annotation was carried out. We provide a description of the data in Table TABREF10. Table TABREF10 also provides class breakdown across our splits.We note that BIBREF19 do not report classification models exploiting the data.
UBC Twitter Gender Dataset. We also develop an in-house Twitter dataset for gender. We manually labeled 1,989 users from each of the 21 Arab countries. The data had 1,246 “male", 528 “female", and 215 unknown users. We remove the “unknown" category and balance the dataset to have 528 from each of the two `male" and “female" categories. We ended with 69,509 tweets for `male" and 67,511 tweets for “female". We split the users into 80% TRAIN set (110,750 tweets for 845 users), 10% DEV set (14,158 tweets for 106 users), and 10% TEST set (12,112 tweets for 105 users). We, then, model this dataset with BERT-Base, Multilingual Cased model and evaluate on development and test sets. Table TABREF15 shows that fine-tuned model obtains 62.42% acc on DEV and 60.54% acc on TEST.
The dialect identification model in AraNet is based on our winning system in the MADAR shared task 2 BIBREF20 as described in BIBREF12. The corpus is divided into train, dev and test, and the organizers masked test set labels. We lost some tweets from training data when we crawled using tweet ids, ultimately acquiring 2,036 (TRAIN-A), 281 (DEV) and 466 (TEST). We also make use of the task 1 corpus (95,000 sentences BIBREF21). More specifically, we concatenate the task 1 data to the training data of task 2, to create TRAIN-B. Again, note that TEST labels were only released to participants after the official task evaluation. Table TABREF17 shows statistics of the data. We used tweets from 21 Arab countries as distributed by task organizers, except that we lost some tweets when we crawled using tweet ids. We had 2,036 (TRAIN-A), 281 (DEV) and 466 (TEST). For our experiments, we also make use of the task 1 corpus (95,000 sentences BIBREF21). More specifically, we concatenate the task 1 data to the training data of task 2, to create TRAIN-B. Note that both DEV and TEST across our experiments are exclusively the data released in task 2, as described above. TEST labels were only released to participants after the official task evaluation. Table TABREF17 shows statistics of the data. More information about the data is in BIBREF21. We use TRAIN-A to perform supervised modeling with BERT and TRAIN-B for self training, under various conditions. We refer the reader to BIBREF12 for more information about our different experimental settings on dialect id. We acquire our best results with self-training, with a classification accuracy of 49.39% and F1 score at 35.44. This is the winning system model in the MADAR shared task and we showed in BIBREF12 that our tweet-level predictions can be ported to user-level prediction. On user-level detection, our models perform superbly, with 77.40% acc and 71.70% F1 score on unseen MADAR blind test data.
Data and Models ::: Emotion
We make use of two datasets, the LAMA-DINA dataset from BIBREF22, a Twitter dataset with a combination of gold labels from BIBREF23 and distant supervision labels. The tweets are labeled with the Plutchik 8 primary emotions from the set: {anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, trust}. The distant supervision approach depends on use of seed phrases with the Arabic first person pronoun انا> (Eng. “I") + a seed word expressing an emotion, e.g., فرحان> (Eng. “happy"). The manually labeled part of the data comprises tweets carrying the seed phrases verified by human annotators $9,064$ tweets for inclusion of the respective emotion. The rest of the dataset is only labeled using distant supervision (LAMA-DIST) ($182,605$ tweets) . For more information about the dataset, readers are referred to BIBREF22. The data distribution over the emotion classes is in Table TABREF20. We combine LAMA+DINA and LAMA-DIST training set and refer to this new training set as LAMA-D2 (189,903 tweets). We fine-tune BERT-Based, Multilingual Cased on the LAMA-D2 and evaluate the model with same DEV and TEST sets from LAMA+DINA. On DEV set, the fine-tuned BERT model obtains 61.43% on accuracy and 58.83 on $F_1$ score. On TEST set, we acquire 62.38% acc and 60.32% $F_1$ score.
We use the dataset for irony identification on Arabic tweets released by IDAT@FIRE2019 shared-task BIBREF24. The shared task dataset contains 5,030 tweets related to different political issues and events in the Middle East taking place between 2011 and 2018. Tweets are collected using pre-defined keywords (i.e., targeted political figures or events) and the positive class involves ironic hashtags such as #sokhria, #tahakoum, and #maskhara (Arabic variants for “irony"). Duplicates, retweets, and non-intelligible tweets are removed by organizers. Tweets involve both MSA as well as dialects at various degrees of granularity such as Egyptian, Gulf, and Levantine.
We collect 15 datasets related to sentiment analysis of Arabic, including MSA and dialects BIBREF25, BIBREF26, BIBREF27, BIBREF1, BIBREF28, BIBREF29, BIBREF30, BIBREF31, BIBREF32, BIBREF33, BIBREF34. Table TABREF28 shows all the corpora we use. These datasets involve different types of sentiment analysis tasks such as binary classification (i.e., negative or positive), 3-way classification (i.e., negative, neutral, or positive), and subjective language detection. To combine these datasets for binary sentiment classification, we normalize different types of label to binary labels in the set $\lbrace `positive^{\prime }, `negative^{\prime }\rbrace $ by following rules:
