The first release of the corpus is available on [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Random-Mary-Smith/port_data_random). #### Data Sources The corpus consists of the following datasets:

##### Note: The dataset "Brazilian Senate Speeches" was created by the authors of this paper, using web crawling of the Brazilian Senate website and is available in the Huggingface repository. #### Annotation Schema & Data Preprocessing Pipeline We leveraged our knowledge of the Portuguese language to identify data sources that guaranteed mono-variety documents. However, this first release lacks any kind of supervision, so we cannot guarantee that all documents are mono-variety. In the future, we plan to release a second version of the corpus with a more robust annotation schema, combining automatic and manual annotation. To improve the quality of the corpus, we applied a preprocessing pipeline to all documents. The pipeline consists of the following steps: 1. Remove all NaN values. 2. Remove all empty documents. 3. Remove all duplicated documents. 4. Apply the [clean_text](https://github.com/jfilter/clean-text) library to remove non-relevant information for language identification from the documents. 5. Remove all documents with a length significantly more than two standard deviations from the mean length of the documents in the corpus. The pipeline is illustrated in Figure 1.

#### Class Distribution The class distribution of the corpus is presented in Table 2. The corpus is highly imbalanced, with the majority of the documents being from the journalistic domain. In the future, we plan to release a second version of the corpus with a more balanced distribution across the six domains. Depending on the imbalance of the textual domain, we used different strategies to perform train-validation-test splits. For the heavily imbalanced domains, we ensured a minimum of 100 documents for validation and 400 for testing. In the other domains, we applied a stratified split.

Domain # PT-PT # PT-BR Stratified
Politics 6500 4894 ✓
Web 7960 21592 ✓
Literature 18282 2772 ✓
Law 392839 5766 ✕
Journalistic 1494494 354180 ✓
Social Media 2013951 6222 ✕

#### Future Releases & How to Contribute We plan to release a second version of this corpus considering more textual domains and extending the scope to other Portuguese varieties. If you want to contribute to this corpus, please [contact us]().
