  ### Social Impact of Dataset

190
+ The use of this dataset has significant social impact.
191
+
192
+ Firstly, this dataset can positively contribute to the understanding and preservation of Cadiz's culture and traditions, as the Carnaval de Cádiz is an integral part of the city's cultural identity. By providing an accessible and easily searchable resource for carnival song lyrics, this dataset can assist cultural researchers, linguists, and the general public in better understanding and appreciating the rich tradition of the Carnaval de Cádiz.
193
+
194
+ Additionally, this dataset can be utilized to enhance natural language processing (NLP) technologies in Spanish, a language that can sometimes be underrepresented in NLP research. By providing a high-quality, culture-specific Spanish text corpus, this dataset can aid in improving the accuracy and cultural relevance of Spanish NLP models.
195
+
196
+ However, there are also risks associated with the use of this dataset. For instance, if used to train text generation models, these models could generate content that reinforces cultural stereotypes or perpetuates existing biases. Moreover, the automatic interpretation of carnival song lyrics can be challenging due to cultural and linguistic subtleties, and errors in this interpretation could lead to misunderstandings or misrepresentations of Cadiz's culture.
197
+
198
+ Finally, although this dataset does not contain a low-resource or underrepresented language, it does focus on a specific cultural tradition from a specific region of Spain. Therefore, its use can impact the Cadiz community by helping to preserve and disseminate its unique culture and traditions.

  ### Discussion of Biases
201
 
202
+ The dataset is subject to several biases due to the nature of the data collection and the historical context of the Cadiz Carnival.
203
+
204
+ Firstly, there is a temporal bias in the dataset. More recent lyrics are overrepresented compared to older ones, as there is more information available on the internet about modern groups. This may lead to a skewed understanding of the evolution of the Carnival's themes over time.
205
+
206
+ Secondly, the dataset exhibits a popularity bias. Lyrics from more popular groups are overrepresented because individuals have chosen to write about them more frequently. This could potentially limit the diversity of styles and themes represented in the dataset.
207
+
208
+ Thirdly, there is a competition bias. Lyrics from groups that advanced further in the competition stages are overrepresented, resulting in more available lyrics from these groups. This might lead to an overemphasis on the styles and themes that tend to be more successful in the competition.
209
+
210
+ Lastly, the dataset reflects a gender bias. Given that there have historically been more male authors than female authors in the Cadiz Carnival, the majority of the dataset consists of lyrics written by men. This could potentially limit the representation of diverse perspectives and themes in the lyrics.
211
+
212
+ To mitigate these biases, we actively encourage the participation of the community. By verifying the different records of the dataset, reviewing the transcription of the lyrics and all the data for accuracy, and adding new lyrics, we hope to broaden the diversity and representation.
