In every example, the pronoun of interest and its translation are surrounded by `...
` tags. These are guaranteed to be found in the `en_with_tags` and `fr_with_tags` field, respectively.
Any span surrounded by `...` tags was identified by human annotators as supporting context to correctly translate the pronoun of interest. These spans can be missing altogether (i.e. no contextual information needed), or they can be found in any of the available fields. The `has_supporting_context` field indicates whether the example contains any supporting context.
In the example above, the translation of the pronoun `it` (field `en`) is ambiguous, and the correct translation to the feminine French pronoun `elle` (in field `fr`) is only possible thanks to the supporting feminine noun `plantes` in the field `context_fr`. Since the example contains supporting context, the `has_supporting_context` field is set to `true`.
Fields with the `_with_tags` suffix contain tags around pronouns of interest and supporting context, while their counterparts without the suffix contain the same text without tags, to facilitate direct usage with machine translation models.
### Data Splits
The dataset is split into `train`, `validation` and `test` sets. In the following table, we report the number of examples in the original dataset and in this filtered version in which examples containing malformed tags were removed.
| Split | # Examples (original) | # Examples (**this**) |
| :-----------: | :-------------------: | :-------------------: |
| `train` | 11471 | 11090 |
| `validation` | 145 | 144 |
| `test` | 1000 | 970 |
### Dataset Creation
From the original paper:
>We recruited 20 freelance English-French translators on Upwork. We annotate examples from the contrastive test set by Lopes et al. (2020). This set includes 14K examples from the OpenSubtitles2018 dataset. Through our annotation effort, we obtain 14K examples of supporting context for pronoun anaphora resolution in ambiguous translations selected by professional human translators.
Please refer to the original article [Do Context-Aware Translation Models Pay the Right Attention?](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.65/) for additional information on dataset creation.
### Additional Preprocessing
Compared to the original SCAT corpus, the following differences are present in this version:
- Examples were filtered using the [filter_scat.py](filter_scat.py) script to retain only examples containing well-formed tags, and remove superfluous tags. Superfluous tags are defined as nested `...
` tags that represent lack of contextual information for disambiguating the correct pronoun. In this case, the outer `...` tag was removed. We also filter examples that do not contain tags for the pronoun on interest in the target sentence for English and French (`en`, `fr`).
- Sentences stripped from tags are provided in fields without the `_with_tags` suffix.
- An extra contrastive sentence using the pronoun of interest belonging to the opposite gender is available in the `contrast_fr` field. The swap was performed using a simple lexical heuristic (refer to `swap_pronoun` in [`scat.py`](./scat.py)), and we do not guarantee grammatical correctness of the sentence.
