2024-01-02

&lt;p&gt;This dataset contains a selection of speeches from &lt;a href="https://www.clarin.eu/parlamint"&gt;ParlaMint&lt;/a&gt; corpora (version 4.0) as the training set for &nbsp;the shared task on "&lt;a href="https://touche.webis.de/clef24/touche24-web/ideology-and-power-identification-in-parliamentary-debates.html"&gt;Ideology and Power Identification in Parliamentary Debates&lt;/a&gt;" in &lt;a href="https://clef2024.imag.fr/"&gt;CLEF 2024&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All files are tab-separated text files with the following fields:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;id&lt;/em&gt;" is a unique (arbitrary) ID for each text.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;speaker&lt;/em&gt;" is a unique (arbitrary) ID for each speaker. There may be multiple speeches from the same speaker.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;sex&lt;/em&gt;" is the (binary/biological) sex of the speaker. This information is collected from varying sources (typically data published by the respective parliament), and in some cases it may be unspecified or unknown.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;text&lt;/em&gt;" is the transcribed text of the parliamentary speech. Real examples may include line breaks, and other special sequences escaped or quoted.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;text_en&lt;/em&gt;" is an automatic English translation of the corresponding text. This field may be empty (obviously) &nbsp;for speeches in English, but the translations may be missing for a small number of non-English speeches as well.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;"&lt;em&gt;label&lt;/em&gt;" is the binary/numeric label. For political orientation, 0 is left and 1 is right. For power identification 0 indicates coalition (or governing party) and 1 indicates opposition.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;File names indicate the task and the parliament. We provide data from&nbsp;the following national and regional parliaments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Austria (at)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bosnia and Herzegovina (ba)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Belgium (be)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bulgaria (bg)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Czechia (cz)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Denmark (dk)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Estonia (ee) [only political orientation]&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Spain (es)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Catalonia (es-ct)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Galicia (es-ga)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Basque Country (es-pv) [only power]&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Finland (fi)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;France (fr)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Great Britain (gb)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Greece (gr)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Croatia (hr)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Hungary (hu)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Iceland (is) [only political orientation]&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Italy (it)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Latvia (lv)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Netherlands (nl)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Norway (no) [only political orientation]&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Poland (pl)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Portugal (pt)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Serbia (rs)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Sweden (se) [only political orientation]&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Slovenia (si)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Turkey (tr)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ukraine (ua)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The number of training instances and the class imbalance differs for each training set. We do not provide a fixed validation split.
