TyDiP: A Dataset for Politeness Classification in Nine Typologically Diverse Languages

This repo contains the code and data for the EMNLP 2022 findings paper TyDiP: A Dataset for Politeness Classification in Nine Typologically Diverse Languages which can be found here.

Data

The TyDiP dataset is licensed under the CC BY 4.0 license.

The data folder contains the different files we release as part of the TyDiP dataset. The TyDiP dataset comprises of an English train set and English test set that are adapted from the Stanford Politeness Corpus, and test data in 9 more languages (Hindi, Korean, Spanish, Tamil, French, Vietnamese, Russian, Afrikaans, Hungarian) that we annotated.

data/
├── all
├── binary
└── unlabelled_train_sets

data/all consists of the complete train and test sets.
data/binary is a filtered version of the above where sentences from the top and bottom 25 percentile of scores is only present. This is the data that we used for training and evaluation in the paper.
data/unlabelled_train_sets

Code

politeness_regresor.py is used for training and evaluation of transformer models

To train a model

python politeness_regressor.py --train_file data/binary/en_train_binary.csv --test_file data/binary/en_test_binary.csv --model_save_location model.pt --pretrained_model xlm-roberta-large --gpus 1 --batch_size 4 --accumulate_grad_batches 8 --max_epochs 5 --checkpoint_callback False --logger False --precision 16 --train --test --binary --learning_rate 5e-6

To test this trained model on $lang

python politeness_regressor.py --test_file data/binary/${lang}_test_binary.csv --load_model model.pt --gpus 1 --batch_size 32 --test --binary

Pretrained Model

XLM-Roberta Large finetuned on the English train set (as discussed and evaluated in the paper) can be found here

Politeness Strategies

strategies contains the processed strategy lexicon for different languages. strategies/learnt_strategies.xlsx contains the human edited strategies for 4 langauges

Annotation Interface

annotation.html contains the UI used for conducting data annotation
