JADOS is a Japanese document-level text simplification dataset for the news and encyclopedia domains, as described in "A Document-Level Text Simplification Dataset for Japanese."
Each domain dataset is provided in JSON format.
- Mainichi corpus in News doamin:
data/mainichi_corpus/mainichi_vX.X.X.json
- Wikipedia corpus in encyclopedia doamin:
data/wikipedia_corpus/wikipedia_vX.X.X.json
Note: To obtain the Mainichi corpus source and target texts, please purchase the 毎日新聞記事データ集 and 毎日小学生新聞記事データ集 corpora from 2013 to 2020 [link].
Each entry consists of the following objects.
┌──── year
├──── source
│ ├──── id
│ └──── text
├──── target
│ ├──── id
│ └──── text
└──── annotations
├──── alignment_ids
└──── simplification_labels
Key | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
year | str | Publication year of Mainichi Japanese Daily Newspaper and Mainichi Elementary School Newspaper articles. |
source | dict | Mainichi Japanese Daily Newspaper article information extracted from data collection. |
target | dict | Mainichi Elementary School Newspaper article information extracted from data collection. |
id | str | Index article number of source/target article. Extracted from the text annotated with the \C0\ tag in data collection. |
text | list[str|int] | List of starting positions (character count) for each sentence of source/target full article. In the case of a source article, the first element stores the "title". Please replace "title" with the source article heading (the text to which the \T1\ tag is assigned).The full article was prepared using the following process. ・The full text was derived by concatenating all the text annotated with the \T2\ tag in the data collection. ・The extracted full text was preprocessed using script/preprocess.py . |
annotations | dict | Data manually annotated by a worker. |
alignment_ids | list[str|int] | List of alignment IDs indicating the corresponding source text sentences annotated to each sentence in target text . If there is nothing to be aligned, '' is stored. The value minus 1 corresponds to the index of the list. |
simplification_labels | list[str] | List of simplification operations assigned to each sentence in the source document. |
Each entry consists of the following objects.
┌──── title
├──── class
├──── source_text
└──── annotations
├──── targrt_text
├──── simplification_labels
├──── alignment_ids
├──── summarization_ids
│
├──── target_text
├──── simplification_labels
├──── alignment_ids
└──── summarization_ids
Key | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
title | str | Wikipedia article title. |
class | str | Category of Wikipedia articles ("featured" or "good"). |
source_text | list[str] | List of a Wikipedia article split into sentences. The title is stored in the first element. |
annotations | list | Data manually annotated and created by two workers. |
target_text | list[str] | List of manually created simplified articles split into sentences. |
simplification_labels | list[str] | List of simplification operations assigned to each sentence in the source document. |
alignment_ids | list[str|int] | List of alignment IDs indicating the corresponding target_text sentences annotated to each sentence in source_text . If there is nothing to be aligned, '' is stored. The value minus 1 corresponds to the index of the list. |
summarization_ids | list[list[int]] | List indicating which sentences from the source_text were retained during the extractive summarization process to create the target_text . It contains as many elements as the number of extractive summaries performed. If no summarization was conducted, it is an empty list. |
Note: Due to revisions made upon publication, the statistics in this dataset may differ from those presented in the paper.
