### Dataset Structure

#### Data Fields

<!-- info: List and describe the fields present in the dataset. -->
<!-- scope: telescope -->
The dataset consist of pairs of text passages, where a typical passage is about a sentence long, however, a passage may also be longer or shorter than a sentence. Thus, each example include two text passages (string), a manually annotated label to indicate the paraphrase type (string), and additional metadata.

The dataset include three different `modes`, plain, classification, and generation. The `plain` mode loads the original data without any additional preprocessing or transformations, while the `classification` mode directly builds the data in a form suitable for training a paraphrase classifier, where each example is doubled in the data with different directions (text1, text2, label) --> (text2, text1, label) taking care of the label flipping as well if needed (paraphrases with directionality flag < or >). In the `generation` mode, the examples are preprocessed to be directly suitable for paraphrase generation task. In here, paraphrases not suitable for generation are discarded (negative, and highly context-dependent paraphrases), and directional paraphrases are provided so that the generation goes from more detailed passage to the more general one in order to prevent model hallucination (i.e. model learning to introduce new information). The rest of the paraphrases are provided in both directions (text1, text2, label) --> (text2, text1, label).


Each pair in `plain` and `classification` mode will include fields:

`gem_id`: Identifier of the paraphrase pair (string)
`goeswith`: Identifier of the document from which the paraphrase was extracted, can be `not available` in case the source of the paraphrase is not from document-structured data (string)
`fold`: 0-99, data split into 100 parts respecting document boundaries, you can use this e.g. to implement crossvalidation safely as all paraphrases from one document are in one fold (int)
`text1`: First paraphrase passage (string)
`text2`: Second paraphrase passage (string)
`label`: Manually annotated labels (string)
`binary_label`: Label turned into binary with values `positive` (paraphrase) and `negative` (not-paraphrase) (string)
`is_rewrite`: Indicator whether the example is human produced rewrite or naturally occurring paraphrase (bool)

Each pair in `generation` mode will include the same fields expect `text1` and `text2` are renamed to `input` and `output` in order to indicate the generation direction. Thus the fields are:

`gem_id`: Identifier of the paraphrase pair (string)
`goeswith`: Identifier of the document from which the paraphrase was extracted, can be `not available` in case the source of the paraphrase is not from document-structured data (string)
`fold`: 0-99, data split into 100 parts respecting document boundaries, you can use this e.g. to implement crossvalidation safely as all paraphrases from one document are in one fold (int)
`input`: The input paraphrase passage for generation (string)
`output`: The output paraphrase passage for generation (string)
`label`: Manually annotated labels (string)
`binary_label`: Label turned into binary with values `positive` (paraphrase) and `negative` (not-paraphrase) (string)
`is_rewrite`: Indicator whether the example is human produced rewrite or naturally occurring paraphrase (bool)

#### Example Instance

## Dataset Curation

### Original Curation

#### Original Curation Rationale

<!-- info: Original curation rationale -->
<!-- scope: telescope -->
The dataset is fully manually annotated. The dataset strives for interesting paraphrases with low lexical overlap, thus the annotation is two fold. First the paraphrases are manually extracted from two related documents, where the annotators are instructed to extract only interesting paraphrases. In the second phrase, all extracted paraphrases are manually labeled given the annotation scheme.

The annotation scheme is:
4 : paraphrase in all reasonably possible contexts
3 : paraphrase in the given document contexts, but not in general
2 : related but not paraphrase
During annotation also labels 1 (unrelated) and x (skip, e.g. wrong language) were used, however, the insignificant amount of examples annotated with these labels were discarded from the released corpus.

The following flags are annotated to label 4 paraphrases:
< : txt1 is more general than txt2; txt2 is more specific than txt1 (directional paraphrase where txt2 can be replaced with txt1 in all contexts but not to the other direction)
> : txt2 is more general than txt1; txt1 is more specific than txt2 (directional paraphrase where txt1 can be replaced with txt2 in all contexts but not to the other direction)
i : minor traceable difference (differing in terms of grammatical number or case, 'this' vs 'that', etc.)
s : style or strength difference (e.g. equivalent meaning, but one of the statements substantially more colloquial than the other)

For paraphrases where the annotated label was something else than label 4 without any flags, the annotators had an option to rewrite the text passages so that the rewritten paraphrase pair formed label 4 (universal) paraphrase. This was used for cases where simple edit would turn e.g. contextual or directional paraphrase into universal one. For the rewritten examples, both the original and the rewritten pairs are available with corresponding labels annotated.

#### Communicative Goal

<!-- info: What was the communicative goal? -->

#### Any Quality Control?



validated by another rater

#### Quality Control Details



Partial double annotation, double annotation batches are assigned regularly in order to monitor annotation consistency. In double annotation, one annotator first extracts the candidate paraphrases, and these candidates are assigned to two different annotators, who does the label annotation independently from each other. Afterwards, the label annotations are merged, and conflicting labels are resolved together with the whole annotation team.

The Turku paraphrase corpus project was funded by the Academy of Finland, as well as the European Language Grid project through its open call for pilot projects. The European Language Grid project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement no. 825627 (ELG). #### Who added the Dataset to GEM?



Jenna Kanerva, Filip Ginter (TurkuNLP / University of Turku) ### Dataset Structure #### Data Fields



The dataset consist of pairs of text passages, where a typical passage is about a sentence long, however, a passage may also be longer or shorter than a sentence. Thus, each example include two text passages (string), a manually annotated label to indicate the paraphrase type (string), and additional metadata.

The dataset include three different 'modes', plain, classification, and generation. The 'plain' mode loads the original data without any additional preprocessing or transformations, while the 'classification' mode directly builds the data in a form suitable for training a paraphrase classifier, where each example is doubled in the data with different directions (text1, text2, label) --> (text2, text1, label) taking care of the label flipping as well if needed (paraphrases with directionality flag < or >). In the 'generation' mode, the examples are preprocessed to be directly suitable for paraphrase generation task. In here, paraphrases not suitable for generation are discarded (negative, and highly context-dependent paraphrases), and directional paraphrases are provided so that the generation goes from more detailed passage to the more general one in order to prevent model hallucination (i.e. model learning to introduce new information). The rest of the paraphrases are provided in both directions (text1, text2, label) --> (text2, text1, label).


Each pair in 'plain' and 'classification' mode will include fields:

'gem_id': Identifier of the paraphrase pair (string)
'goeswith': Identifier of the document from which the paraphrase was extracted, can be 'not available' in case the source of the paraphrase is not from document-structured data (string)
'fold': 0-99, data split into 100 parts respecting document boundaries, you can use this e.g. to implement crossvalidation safely as all paraphrases from one document are in one fold (int)
'text1': First paraphrase passage (string)
'text2': Second paraphrase passage (string)
'label': Manually annotated labels (string)
'binary_label': Label turned into binary with values 'positive' (paraphrase) and 'negative' (not-paraphrase) (string)
'is_rewrite': Indicator whether the example is human produced rewrite or naturally occurring paraphrase (bool)

Each pair in 'generation' mode will include the same fields expect 'text1' and 'text2' are renamed to 'input' and 'output' in order to indicate the generation direction. Thus the fields are:

'gem_id': Identifier of the paraphrase pair (string)
'goeswith': Identifier of the document from which the paraphrase was extracted, can be 'not available' in case the source of the paraphrase is not from document-structured data (string)
'fold': 0-99, data split into 100 parts respecting document boundaries, you can use this e.g. to implement crossvalidation safely as all paraphrases from one document are in one fold (int)
'input': The input paraphrase passage for generation (string)
'output': The output paraphrase passage for generation (string)
'label': Manually annotated labels (string)
'binary_label': Label turned into binary with values 'positive' (paraphrase) and 'negative' (not-paraphrase) (string)
'is_rewrite': Indicator whether the example is human produced rewrite or naturally occurring paraphrase (bool) #### Example Instance #### Data Splits



The corpus include 3 splits: train, validation, and test. #### Splitting Criteria



The data is split randomly into the three section with a restriction of all paraphrases from the same document (movie, TV episode, news article, student translation, or exam question) being in the same section. All splits are manually annotated. ## Dataset in GEM ### Rationale for Inclusion in GEM #### Why is the Dataset in GEM?

F-score in paraphrase classification ## Dataset Curation ### Original Curation #### Original Curation Rationale



The dataset is fully manually annotated. The dataset strives for interesting paraphrases with low lexical overlap, thus the annotation is two fold. First the paraphrases are manually extracted from two related documents, where the annotators are instructed to extract only interesting paraphrases. In the second phrase, all extracted paraphrases are manually labeled given the annotation scheme.

The annotation scheme is:
4 : paraphrase in all reasonably possible contexts
3 : paraphrase in the given document contexts, but not in general
2 : related but not paraphrase
During annotation also labels 1 (unrelated) and x (skip, e.g. wrong language) were used, however, the insignificant amount of examples annotated with these labels were discarded from the released corpus.

The following flags are annotated to label 4 paraphrases:
< : txt1 is more general than txt2; txt2 is more specific than txt1 (directional paraphrase where txt2 can be replaced with txt1 in all contexts but not to the other direction)
> : txt2 is more general than txt1; txt1 is more specific than txt2 (directional paraphrase where txt1 can be replaced with txt2 in all contexts but not to the other direction)
i : minor traceable difference (differing in terms of grammatical number or case, 'this' vs 'that', etc.)
s : style or strength difference (e.g. equivalent meaning, but one of the statements substantially more colloquial than the other)

For paraphrases where the annotated label was something else than label 4 without any flags, the annotators had an option to rewrite the text passages so that the rewritten paraphrase pair formed label 4 (universal) paraphrase. This was used for cases where simple edit would turn e.g. contextual or directional paraphrase into universal one. For the rewritten examples, both the original and the rewritten pairs are available with corresponding labels annotated. #### Communicative Goal
