### Dataset Summary
The dataset contains tokenized Norwegian sentences where each token is tagged for sentiment expressed towards that token. The dataset is derived from the manually annotated [NoReC_fine](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec_fine) with rich annotations for each sentiment expression in the texts.  
The texts are a subset of the Norewegian Review Corpus  [NoReC](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
[NorBench](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norbench) provides TSA evaluation scripts using this dataset, and a leaderboard comparing large language models for downstream NLP tasks in Norwegian.  

### Languages
Norwegian: Predominantly Bokmål written variant.

| variant   | split   |   sents |   docs |
|:-----|:--------|--------:|-------:|
| nb   | dev     |    1531 |     44 |
| nb   | test    |    1272 |     47 |
| nb   | train   |    8556 |    323 |
| nn   | train   |      78 |      4 |

## Dataset Structure
The dataset comes in two flavours:
- `default` configuration yields labels with binary Positive / Negative sentiment description
- `intensity` configuration yields labels with additional sentiment intensity, 1: Slight, 2: Standard, and 3: Strong.  

The config is required for accessing the version with intensity. `tsa_data = load_dataset("ltg/norec_tsa", "intensity")`
The dataset comes with predefined train, dev (vallidation) and test splits. 


### Data Instances
Config "default" example instance:
```
{'idx': '701363-08-02',
 'tokens': ['Vi', 'liker', 'det', '.'],
 'tsa_tags': ['O', 'O', 'B-targ-Positive', 'O']}
```
Config "intensity"  example instance:
```
{'idx': '701363-08-02',
 'tokens': ['Vi', 'liker', 'det', '.'],
 'tsa_tags': ['O', 'O', 'B-targ-Positive-2', 'O']}
```



### Data Fields
- idx(str): Unique document-and sentence identifier from [NoReC_fine](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec_fine). The 6-digit document identifier can also be used to look up the text and its metadata in [NoReC](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec).
- tokens: (List[str]): List of the tokens in the sentence
- tsa_tags: (List[str]): List of the tags for each token in BIO format. There is no integer representation of these in the dataset.




### Data Splits
```
DatasetDict({
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['idx', 'tokens', 'tsa_tags'],
        num_rows: 1272
    })
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['idx', 'tokens', 'tsa_tags'],
        num_rows: 8634
    })
    validation: Dataset({
        features: ['idx', 'tokens', 'tsa_tags'],
        num_rows: 1531
    })
})
```

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale
The sentiment expressions and targets are annotated in NoReC_fine according to its  [annotation guidelines](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec_fine/blob/master/annotation_guidelines/guidelines.md)

Since a sentiment target may be the target of several sentiment expressions, these are resolved to a final sentiment polarity (and intensity) using the conversion script in [NoReC_tsa](https://github.com/ltgoslo/norec_tsa). There is no "mixed" sentiment category. When a target is the receiver of both positive and negative sentiment, the strongest wins. If a tie, the last sentiment wins.

### Discussion of Biases
The professional review texts in NoReC that NoReC_tsa is a subset from, are from a set number of Norwegian Publishing channels and from a set timespan that can be explored in the [NoReC metadata](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ltgoslo/norec/master/data/metadata.json). Both language usage and sentiments expressed could have been more diverse with a more diverse set of source texts.
