## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://vadis-project.github.io/sv-ident-sdp2022/
- **Repository:** https://github.com/vadis-project/sv-ident
- **Paper:** [Needs More Information]
- **Leaderboard:** [Needs More Information]

### Dataset Summary

SV-Ident comprises 4,248 sentences from social science publications in English and German. The data is the official data for the Shared Task: “Survey Variable Identification in Social Science Publications” (SV-Ident) 2022. Visit the homepage to find out more details about the shared task.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset supports:

- **Variable Detection**: identifying whether a sentence contains a variable mention or not.

- **Variable Disambiguation**: identifying which variable from a given vocabulary is mentioned in a sentence.

### Languages

The text in the dataset is in English and German, as written by researchers. The domain of the texts is scientific publications in the social sciences.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

```
{
  "sentence": "Our point, however, is that so long as downward (favorable comparisons overwhelm the potential for unfavorable comparisons, system justification should be a likely outcome amongst the disadvantaged.",
  "is_variable": 1,
  "variable": ["exploredata-ZA5400_VarV66", "exploredata-ZA5400_VarV53"],
  "research_data": ["ZA5400"],
  "doc_id": "73106",
  "uuid": "b9fbb80f-3492-4b42-b9d5-0254cc33ac10",
  "lang": "en",
}
```

### Data Fields

The following data fields are provided for documents:

`sentence`:       Textual instance, which may contain a variable mention.<br />
`is_variable`:    Label, whether the textual instance contains a variable mention (1) or not (0). This column can be used for Task 1 (Variable Detection).<br />
`variable`:       Variables (separated by a comma ";") that are mentioned in the textual instance. This column can be used for Task 2 (Variable Disambiguation).<br />
`research_data`:  Research data IDs (separated by a ";") that are relevant for each instance (and in general for each "doc_id").<br />
`doc_id`:         ID of the source document. Each document is written in one language (either English or German).<br />
`uuid`:           Unique ID of the instance in uuid4 format.<br />
`lang`:           Language of the sentence.

### Data Splits

| Split               | Number of sentences                       |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------      |
| Train               | 4,248                                     |
