title: Pedagogical Roles of Natural Language Processing Documents

description: <b>Description</b>To allow a computational exploration of the learning utility ("pedagogical value") between a learner and a document, we introduce the notion of "pedagogical roles" of documents as an intermediary component. This dataset is a novel annotated corpus of the pedagogical roles of documents from an expanded ACL Anthology corpus.<br>The current version includes the following pedagogical roles:<br>- Survey: Is this document a broad survey? A broad survey examines or compares across a broad concept.- Tutorial: Is this document a tutorial? Tutorials describe a coherent process about how to use tools or understand a concept, and teach by example.- Resource: Does this document describe the authors' implementation of a system, corpus, or other resource that has been distributed (e.g. public data sets or tools that have been released under an open source-license or are commercially available)?- Reference Work: Is this document a collection of authoritative facts intended for others to refer to? Reports of novel, experimental results are not authoritative facts; the statement ``grass is green'' is. Reference Works describe different subtopics within a concept.- Empirical Results: Does this document describe results of the authors' experiments?- Software Manual: Is this document a manual describing how to use different components of a software?- Other: Other role (This includes theoretical papers, papers that present a rebuttal for a claim, thought experiments, etc.)<br><b>Files</b>- annotations_raw_average.tsv: Averaged raw annotations. Each pedagogical role score is an average over all annotations of the role for the document.- annotations_bin.tsv: Binarized version of the annotations. A document belongs to a pedagogical role if a majority of the annotators agree.- pedagogical_roles.bib: Metadata of documents in annotated corpus. The documents with a source of "web-supplementary" are supplementary documents that were annotated internally.<br><b>Papers</b>If you use this dataset, please cite the following paper.
