Dataset Card for Corpus Carolina

Table of Contents

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

Carolina is an Open Corpus for Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence with a robust volume of texts of varied typology in contemporary Brazilian Portuguese (1970-2021). This corpus contains documents and texts extracted from the web and includes information (metadata) about its provenance and tipology.

The documents are clustered into taxonomies and the corpus can be loaded in complete or taxonomy modes. To load a single taxonomy, it is possible to pass a code as a parameter to the loading script (see the example bellow). Codes are 3-letters string and possible values are:

  • dat : datasets and other corpora;
  • jud : judicial branch;
  • leg : legislative branch;
  • pub : public domain works;
  • soc : social media;
  • uni : university domains;
  • wik : wikis.

Usage Example:

from datasets import load_dataset

# to load all taxonomies
corpus_carolina = load_dataset("carolina-c4ai/corpus-carolina")

# to load social media documents
social_media = load_dataset("carolina-c4ai/corpus-carolina", taxonomy="soc")

Supported Tasks

Carolina corpus was compiled for academic purposes, namely linguistic and computational analysis.

Languages

Contemporary Brazilian Portuguese (1970-2021).

Dataset Structure

Files are stored inside corpus folder with a subfolder for each taxonomy. Every file folows a XML structure (TEI P5) and contains multiple extracted documents. For each document, the text and metadata are exposed as text and meta features, respectively.

Data Instances

Every instance have the following structure.

{
    "meta": datasets.Value("string"),
    "text": datasets.Value("string")
}

Data Fields

  • meta: a XML string with a TEI conformant teiHeader tag. It is exposed as text and needs to be parsed in order to access the actual metada;
  • text: a string containing the extracted document.

Data Splits

As a general corpus, Carolina does not have splits. In order to load the dataset, it is used corpus as its single split.

Additional Information

Dataset Curators

The Corpus Carolina is developed by a multidisciplinary team of linguists and computer scientists, members of the Virtual Laboratory of Digital Humanities - LaViHD and the Artificial Intelligence Center of the University of São Paulo - C4AI.
