VaccinChatNL

Description

VaccinChatNL is a Flemish Dutch FAQ dataset on the topic of COVID-19 vaccinations in Flanders. It consists of 12,833 user questions divided over 181 answer labels, thus providing large groups of semantically equivalent paraphrases (a many-to-one mapping of user questions to answer labels). VaccinChatNL is the first Dutch many-to-one FAQ dataset of this size.

TwiSty Corpus

Description

TwiSty is a corpus developed for research in author profiling. It contains personality (MBTI) and gender annotations for a total of 18,168 authors spanning six languages. We distribute the Twitter ids of these authors as well as the ids of their available tweets at the time of corpus development. The tweets have undergone language identification and can be found in a Confirmed (as belonging to the language in which the author is situated) and Other category.

CLiPS Stylometry Investigation (CSI) Corpus

Description

The CSI corpus is a yearly expanded corpus of student texts in two genres: essays and reviews. The purpose of this corpus lies primarily in stylometric research, but other applications are possible. There is a vast amount of meta-data available, both on the author (gender, age, sexual orientation, region of origin, personality profile) and on the document (timestamp, genre, veracity, sentiment, grade). The current version of the corpus was assembled in February 2016. Previous versions of the corpus are available from the authors via e-mail request.

AuCoPro Semantics

Description

The AuCoPro-Semantics dataset serves for the automatic semantic analysis of compounds. It contains semantically annotated noun-noun compounds (NN) from Dutch and Afrikaans, split in two annotation rounds per language. The semantic annotation was performed with annotation guidelines based on those of Ó Séaghdha (2008). Another part of the dataset contains other nominal compounds (XN) in Dutch, that were annotated using a newly developed annotation scheme.

deLearyous

Description

The deLearyous dataset is a Dutch (Flemish) dataset for emotion classification following the framework of Leary's Rose, also known as the Interpersonal Circumplex. The dataset contains 11 conversations that were annotated on the sentence level with their position on Leary's Rose, in function of the two defining dimensions: "dominance", and "affinity". In addition to having been annotated with discrete class labels (8 octants and a "neutral" class), the dataset also contains fine-grained annotations, with continuous values across the defining axes.

Personae Corpus

Description

The Personae corpus was collected for experiments in Authorship Attribution and Personality Prediction. It consists of 145 Dutch-language essays, written by 145 different students (BA in Linguistics and Literature at the University of Antwerp, Belgium). Each student also took an online MBTI personality test, allowing personality prediction experiments. The corpus was controlled for topic, register, genre, age, and education level. We make available the original texts, a syntactically annotated version of the texts, and the metadata.

The Dutch Audio Description Corpus

Description

The Dutch Audio Description corpus is the first corpus of its kind and includes the transcribed texts of 39 audio described Dutch films and TV series, in total 154,570 words and 3,074 minutes of video. This Dutch AD corpus was used to extract a series of quantitative data regarding the language of AD, namely frequency counts of parts of speech, words, lemmas, collocations and the calculation of other relevant text statistics such as reading speed, word and sentence length, text readability and type token ratios (a statistical measure reflecting lexical variety). The data registered here include the corpus files (XML-files) of the transcribed audio descriptions, the multimodal concordancer developed for the project and the raw data extracted from the corpus as part of the PHD project during which this corpus was developed.

PAN19 Authorship Analysis: Cross-Domain Authorship Attribution

Description

Authorship attribution is an important problem in information retrieval and computational linguistics but also in applied areas such as law and journalism where knowing the author of a document (such as a ransom note) may enable e.g. law enforcement to save lives. This edition of PAN focuses on cross-domain attribution in fanfiction, a task that can be more accurately described as cross-fandom attribution in fanfiction. In more detail, all documents of unknown authorship are fanfics of the same fandom (target fandom) while the documents of known authorship by the candidate authors are fanfics of several fandoms (other than the target-fandom). In contrast to the PAN-2018 edition of this task, we focus on open-set attribution conditions, namely the true author of a text in the target domain is not necessarily included in the list of candidate authors.
