Dataset Summary

This is a classification dataset created from a subset of the Talk of Norway. This dataset contains text phrases from the political parties Fremskrittspartiet and Sosialistisk Venstreparti. The dataset is annotated with the party the speaker, as well as a timestamp. The classification task is to, simply by looking at the text, being able to predict is the speech was done by a representative from Fremskrittspartiet or from SV.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is meant for classification. Results can for instance be viewed in this article.

The dataset was also evaluated as part of the North-T5 training. It then gave these results:

Model:	F1
mT5-base	73.2
mBERT-base	78.4
NorBERT-base	78.2
North-T5-small	80.5
nb-bert-base	81.8
North-T5-base	85.3
North-T5-large	86.7
North-T5-xl	88.7
North-T5-xxl	91.8

Languages

The text in the dataset is in Norwegian.

Data Fields

text: Text of a speech
date: Date (YYYY-MM-DD) the speech was held
label: Political party the speaker was associated with at the time
- 0
- 1
full_label: Political party the speaker was associated with at the time
- Fremskrittspartiet
- Sosialistisk Venstreparti

Data Splits

The dataset is split into a train, validation, and test split with the following sizes:

	Tain	Valid	Test
Number of examples	3600	1200	1200

The dataset is balanced on political party.

Dataset Creation

This dataset is based on the publicly available information by Norwegian Parliament (Storting) and created by the National Library of Norway AI-Lab to benchmark their language models.

Additional Information

The Talk of Norway dataset is also available at the LTG Talk-of-Norway Github.

abstract = "In this work, we show the process of building a large-scale training set from digital and digitized collections at a national library.
The resulting Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)-based language model for Norwegian outperforms multilingual BERT (mBERT) models
in several token and sequence classification tasks for both Norwegian Bokm{aa}l and Norwegian Nynorsk. Our model also improves the mBERT performance for other
languages present in the corpus such as English, Swedish, and Danish. For languages not included in the corpus, the weights degrade moderately while keeping strong multilingual properties. Therefore,
we show that building high-quality models within a memory institution using somewhat noisy optical character recognition (OCR) content is feasible, and we hope to pave the way for other memory institutions to follow.",
