# Semantic Textual Similarity in Catalan
## Dataset Description
- **Website:** https://zenodo.org/record/4761434
- **Paper:** [Are Multilingual Models the Best Choice for Moderately Under-resourced Languages? A Comprehensive Assessment for Catalan](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.07903)

### Dataset Summary
STS corpus is a benchmark for evaluating Semantic Text Similarity in Catalan. This dataset was developed by BSC TeMU as part of the AINA project, to enrich the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB).
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset can be used to build and score semantic similarity models in Catalan.
### Languages
The dataset is in Catalan (`ca-CA`).
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
Follows SemEval challenges (https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/S13-1004.pdf).
* index (int)
* id (str): Unique ID assigned to the sentence pair.
* sentence 1 (str): First sentence of the pair.
* sentence 2 (str): Second sentence of the pair.
* avg (float): Gold truth
#### Example

## Dataset Creation
### Methodology
Random sentences were extracted from 3 Catalan corpus: ACN, Oscar and Wikipedia, and we generated candidate pairs using a combination of metrics from Doc2Vec, Jaccard and a BERT-like model (“distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v2”, [link](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-multilingual-cased)). Finally, we manually reviewed the generated pairs to reject non-relevant pairs (identical or ungrammatical sentences, etc.) before providing them to the annotation team.
The average of the four annotations was selected as a “ground truth” for each sentence pair, except when an annotator diverged in more than one unit from the average. In these cases, we discarded the divergent annotation and recalculated the average without it. We also discarded 45 sentence pairs because the annotators disagreed too much.
### Curation Rationale
For compatibility with similar datasets in other languages, we followed as close as possible existing curation guidelines.
### Source Data
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The source data are scraped sentences from the [Catalan Textual Corpus](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4519348).
#### Who are the source language producers?
The Catalan Textual Corpus is a 1760-million-token web corpus of Catalan built from several sources: existing corpus such as DOGC, CaWac (non-dedup version), Oscar (unshuffled version), Open Subtitles, Catalan Wikipedia; and three brand new crawlings: the Catalan General Crawling, obtained by crawling the 500 most popular .cat and .ad domains; the Catalan Government Crawling, obtained by crawling the .gencat domain and subdomains, belonging to the Catalan Government; and the ACN corpus with 220k news items from March 2015 until October 2020, crawled from the Catalan News Agency.
### Annotations
#### Annotation process
We comissioned the manual annotation of the similarity between the sentences of each pair, following the provided guidelines.
#### Who are the annotators?
A team of native language speakers from 2 different companies, working independently.
### Personal and Sensitive Information
No personal or sensitive information included.
