Dataset Structure
Data Fields
Each sample comes with the following fields:
gem_id(string): Unique sample ID -text(string): The raw text to be simplified -simplified_text(string): The simplified version of "text" field -transformation_type(string): Nature of transformation applied to raw text in order to simplify it. -source_dataset(string): Initial dataset source of sample. Values: 'itwiki' (for Italian Wikipedia) or 'tn' (manually annotated administrative documents from the Municipality of Trento, Italy)
Reason for Structure
The dataset is organized as a pairs where the raw text (input) is associated with its simplified text (output). The editing transformation and the source dataset of each sample is also provided for advanced analysis.
How were labels chosen?
SIMPITIKI dataset selects documents from Italian Wikipedia such that their editing tracking descriptions contain any of the words "Simplified"/"Simplify"/"Simplification". For the Public Administration domain of the documents of the Municipality of Trento (Italy)
Example Instance
{"transformation_id": 31, "transformation_type": "Transformation - Lexical Substitution (word level)", "source_dataset": "tn", "text": "- assenza per <del>e</del>si<del>genze</del> particolari attestate da relazione dei servizi sociali;", "simplified_text": "- assenza per <ins>bi</ins>s<ins>ogn</ins>i particolari attestati da relazione dei servizi sociali;"}

Splitting Criteria
The training ratio is set to 0.7. The validation and test somehow equally divide the remaining 30% of the dataset.

Split Motivation
The splits allows to investigate the generalization of models regarding editing/transformations ("challenge_seen_transformations_test" / "challenge_unseen_transformations_test") and for transfer learning to different domain ("challenge_tn_test")

Original Curation Rationale
Most of the resources for Text Simplification are in English. To stimulate research to different languages, SIMPITIKI proposes an Italian corpus with Complex-Simple sentence pairs.
Communicative Goal
Text simplification allows a smooth reading of text to enhance understanding.
