DESCRIPTION

1. Dataset language:

Catalan

2. Abstract:

We introduce CatCoLA, the Catalan Corpus of Linguistic Acceptability that will contribute to the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB) to assess and compare the capabilities of language models (LM) trained with texts in Catalan. CatCoLA follows the design of the English CoLA to support the task of classifying sentences as acceptable or not. CatCoLA consists of 10,443 sentences and their acceptability judgements as found in well-known Catalan reference grammars. Additionally, all sentences have been annotated with the class of linguistic phenomenon the sentence is an example of, also following previous practices. CatCoLA is released under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence and freely available at https://github.com/nuriabel/LUTEST

3. Keywords:

Download

Download CatCola train and dev datasets, plus human annotation, in separate files or togehter. Also available from https://github.com/nuriabel/LUTEST/

For CatCoLA outDomain dataset and CatCoLA InDomain test data, please contact nuria.bel@upf.edu.

Data format

CatCoLA dataset is split into two subsets: an in-domain subset (InDomain) with 10,189 sentences, and an out-of-domain subset (OutDomain) with 254 sentences.

The in-domain subset has been split into train/dev/test sections:

  • train: 8151 sentences
  • dev: 1018 sentences
  • test: 1020 sentences

The test sets are not made public to avoid contamination. Please write nuria.bel@upf.edu.

For the in-domain subset, each line in the .tsv files consists of tab-separated columns:

  • Column 1: a unique ID
  • Column 2: the source of the sentence
  • Column 3: the acceptability judgment label from the source (0=unacceptable, 1=acceptable)
  • Column 4: the source's annotation (* for the unacceptable sentences)
  • Columns 5, 6 and 7: the human annotations
  • Column 8: the sentence
  • Column 9: the category of the linguistic phenomenon the sentence is an example of
  • Column 10: the split to which the sentence belongs

For the out-of-domain, each line in the .tsv file consists of tab-separated columns:

  • Column 1: a unique ID
  • Column 2: the source of the sentence
  • Column 3: the acceptability judgment label from the source (0=unacceptable, 1=acceptable)
  • Column 4: the source's annotation (* for the unacceptable sentences)
  • Column 5: the sentence
  • Column 6: the category of the linguistic phenomenon the sentence is an example of

Processing

During the gathering of the data and processing, some sentences from the source documents may have been omitted or altered. We discarded examples marking dubious acceptability with "?" or other signs, but those examples that included acceptability alternations were taken by creating the two versions: the acceptable and the unacceptable sentence. Finally, the examples that were not full sentences, that is, that contain no main verb, were manually edited to add a neutral verb to convert them into sentences, while keeping the acceptability value.
