### Dataset Summary
a novel Romanian language dataset for offensive sequence detection with manually 
annotated offensive sequences from a local Romanian sports news website (gsp.ro):


Resulting in 4800 annotated messages

### Languages

Romanian

## Dataset Structure


### Data Instances


An example of 'train' looks as follows.

```
{
  'id': 5,
  'text':'PLACEHOLDER TEXT',
  'offensive_substrings': ['substr1','substr2'],
  'offensive_sequences': [(0,10), (16,20)]
}
```


### Data Fields

- `id`: The unique comment ID, corresponding to the ID in [RO Offense](https://huggingface.co/datasets/readerbench/ro-offense)
- `text`: full comment text
- `offensive_substrings`: a list of offensive substrings. Can contain duplicates if some offensive substring appears twice
- `offensive_sequences`: a list of tuples with (start, end) position of the offensive sequences

  *Attention*: the sequences are computed for \n line sepparator! Git might convert the csv to \r\n.
