## Dataset Description

- **Point of Contact:** [email protected]

### Dataset Summary

Parafraseja is a dataset of 21,984 pairs of sentences with a label that indicates if they are paraphrases or not. The original sentences were collected from [TE-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/teca) and [STS-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/sts-ca). For each sentence, an annotator wrote a sentence that was a paraphrase and another that was not. The guidelines of this annotation are available.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is mainly intended to train models for paraphrase detection.

### Languages


The dataset is in Catalan (`ca-ES`).

## Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of pairs of sentences labelled with "Parafrasis" or "No Parafrasis" in a jsonl format.

### Data Instances

<pre>
  {
    "id": "te1_14977_1", 
    "source": "teca", 
    "original": "La 2a part consta de 23 cap\u00edtols, cadascun dels quals descriu un ocell diferent.", 
    "new": "La segona part consisteix en vint-i-tres cap\u00edtols, cada un dels quals descriu un ocell diferent.", 
    "label": "Parafrasis"
   }
</pre>

### Data Fields
- original: original sentence
- new: new sentence, which could be a paraphrase or a non-paraphrase
- label: relation between original and new

### Data Splits

* dev.json: 2,000 examples
* test.json: 4,000 examples
* train.json: 15,984 examples

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

We created this corpus to contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language. 

### Source Data

The original sentences of this dataset came from the [STS-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/sts-ca) and the [TE-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/teca).

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

11,543 of the original sentences came from TE-ca, and 10,441 came from STS-ca.

#### Who are the source language producers?

TE-ca and STS-ca come from the [Catalan Textual Corpus](https://zenodo.org/record/4519349#.Y1Zs__uxXJF), which consists of several corpora gathered from web crawling and public corpora, and [Vilaweb](https://www.vilaweb.cat), a Catalan newswire.

### Annotations

The dataset is annotated with the label "Parafrasis" or "No Parafrasis" for each pair of sentences.

#### Annotation process

The annotation process was done by a single annotator and reviewed by another. 

#### Who are the annotators?

The annotators were Catalan native speakers, with a background on linguistics.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal or sensitive information included.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

We hope this corpus contributes to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.

### Discussion of Biases

We are aware that this data might contain biases. We have not applied any steps to reduce their impact.

### Other Known Limitations
