### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The dataset consists of 11 diverse multilingual legal NLU datasets. 6 datasets have one single configuration and 5 datasets have two or three configurations. This leads to a total of 18 tasks (8 single-label text classification tasks, 5 multi-label text classification tasks and 5 token-classification tasks). |
|
|
|
Use the dataset like this: |
|
```python |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
dataset = load_dataset("joelito/lextreme", "swiss_judgment_prediction") |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
|
The dataset supports the tasks of text classification and token classification. |
|

How can I contribute a dataset to lextreme? |
|
Please follow the following steps: |
|
1. Make sure your dataset is available on the huggingface hub and has a train, validation and test split. |
|
2. Create a pull request to the lextreme repository by adding the following to the lextreme.py file: |
|
- Create a dict _{YOUR_DATASET_NAME} (similar to _BRAZILIAN_COURT_DECISIONS_JUDGMENT) containing all the necessary information about your dataset (task_type, input_col, label_col, etc.) |
|
- Add your dataset to the BUILDER_CONFIGS list: `LextremeConfig(name="{your_dataset_name}", **_{YOUR_DATASET_NAME})` |
|
- Test that it works correctly by loading your subset with `load_dataset("lextreme", "{your_dataset_name}")` and inspecting a few examples. |
