# Data Statement for SHADES

> **How to use this document:**
> Fill in each section according to the instructions. Give as much detail as you can, but there's no need to extrapolate. The goal is to help people understand your data when they approach it. This could be someone looking at it in ten years, or it could be you yourself looking back at the data in two years.

> For full details, the best source is the original Data Statements paper, here: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/Q18-1041/ .

> Instruction fields are given as blockquotes; delete the instructions when you're done, and provide the file with your data, for example as "DATASTATEMENT.md". The lists in some blocks are designed to be filled in, but it's good to also leave a written description of what's happening, as well as the list. It's fine to skip some fields if the information isn't known.

> Only blockquoted content should be deleted; the final about statement should be left intact.

## A. CURATION RATIONALE 

> *Explanation.* Which texts were included and what were the goals in selecting texts, both in the original collection and in any further sub-selection? This can be especially important in datasets too large to thoroughly inspect by hand. An explicit statement of the curation rationale can help dataset users make inferences about what other kinds of texts systems trained with them could conceivably generalize to.

This dataset was curated by hand-crafting stereotype sentences by native speakers from the culture which is being targeted.

<!-- We then adapted the crowdsourcing method described by [Nangia et al. (2020)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.00133) to collect additional sentences expressing a stereotype relevant to the French socio-cultural environment. Data collection is implemented through LanguageARC [(Fiumara et al., 2020)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.cllrd-1.1.pdf), a citizen science platform supporting the development of language resources dedicated to social improvement. We created a LanguageARC project (https://languagearc.com/projects/19) to collect these additional sentences. Participants were asked to submit a statement that expressed a stereotype in French along with a selection of ten bias types: the nine bias types offered in CrowS-Pairs and the additional category _other_. We collected 210 additional sentences this way. -->

## B. LANGUAGE VARIETY/VARIETIES

> *Explanation.* Languages differ from each other in structural ways that can interact with NLP algorithms. Within a language, regional or social dialects can also show great variation (Chambers and Trudgill, 1998). The language and language variety should be described with a language tag from BCP-47 identifying the language variety (e.g., en-US or yue-Hant-HK), and a prose description of the language variety, glossing the BCP-47 tag and also providing further information (e.g., "English as spoken in Palo Alto, California", or "Cantonese written with traditional characters by speakers in Hong Kong who are bilingual in Mandarin").

* BCP-47 language tags: en-US, fr-FR, ....
* Language variety description: English spoken by native American speakers, native French people from metropolitan France.

## C. CONTRIBUTOR DEMOGRAPHIC
> ## C. SPEAKER DEMOGRAPHIC

> *Explanation.* Sociolinguistics has found that variation (in pronunciation, prosody, word choice, and grammar) correlates with speaker demographic characteristics (Labov, 1966), as speakers use linguistic variation to construct and project identities (Eckert and Rickford, 2001). Transfer from native languages (L1) can affect the language produced by non-native (L2) speakers (Ellis, 1994, Ch. 8). A further important type of variation is disordered speech (e.g., dysarthria). Specifications include: 

N/A
 
## D. ANNOTATOR DEMOGRAPHIC

> *Explanation.* What are the demographic characteristics of the annotators and annotation guideline developers? Their own “social address” influences their experience with language and thus their perception of what they are annotating. Specifications include:

Participants to the collection project were recruited through the HuggingFace BigScience project, and specifically the Bias and Fairness Evaluation group. 


## E. SPEECH SITUATION

N/A

## F. TEXT CHARACTERISTICS

> *Explanation.* Both genre and topic influence the vocabulary and structural characteristics of texts (Biber, 1995), and should be specified.

Collected data is a collection of offensive stereotyped statements in French, they might be upsetting.

Along these stereotyped statements are paired anti-stereotyped statements.

## G. RECORDING QUALITY

N/A

## H. OTHER

> *Explanation.* There may be other information of relevance as well. Please use this space to develop any further categories that are relevant for your dataset. 

## I. PROVENANCE APPENDIX

Examples were gathered using the LanguageArc site and by creating a dedicated project: https://languagearc.com/projects/19


## About this document

A data statement is a characterization of a dataset that provides context to allow developers and users to better understand how experimental results might generalize, how software might be appropriately deployed, and what biases might be reflected in systems built on the software.
