# Word Importance

## Dataset Description

- **Repository:** [https://github.com/adam-osusky/predicting-word-importance]()
- **Paper:** [TODO]()

### Dataset Summary

The Word Importance dataset consists of short contexts, approximately 50 words in length, along with annotations indicating the importance of words within these contexts. Annotators were tasked with ranking the top 10% of important words within each context.

Any words left unranked by the user received the same last rank. For instance, if a user selected 5 words, the remaining words were assigned a rank of 6.

Moreover, multiple users contributed rankings for each context, and the final ranking for a context was computed by averaging these contributions.

The dataset is designed to facilitate research in word importance prediction and token classification tasks. For further details on annotation instructions and methodology, refer to the associated paper (link to be provided when available).

### Supported Tasks

Given its small size, the dataset is primarily intended for evaluating models that predict word importance scores. For code related to evaluation, please refer to [https://github.com/adam-osusky/predicting-word-importance].


### Languages

All the text is in english. And it consists of 5 domains: news, beletry, poetry, jokes, and transcribed spoken language
