Numerous methods have been developed to monitor the spread of negativity in modern years by
eliminating vulgar, offensive, and fierce comments from social media platforms. However, there are relatively
lesser amounts of study that converges on embracing positivity, reinforcing supportive and reassuring content in online forums.
Consequently, we propose creating an English Kannada Hope speech dataset, KanHope and comparing several experiments to benchmark the dataset.
The dataset consists of 6,176 user generated comments in code mixed Kannada scraped from YouTube and manually annotated as bearing hope
speech or Not-hope speech.
This dataset was prepared for hope-speech text classification benchmark on code-mixed Kannada, an under-resourced language.

### Dataset Summary

KanHope dataset is a code-mixed Kannada-English dataset for hope speech detection. All texts are scraped from the comments section of YouTube. The dataset consists of 6,176 user-generated comments in code mixed Kannada scraped from YouTube and manually annotated as bearing hope speech or Not-hope speech. 

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This task aims to detect Hope speech content of the code-mixed dataset of comments/posts in Dravidian Languages ( Kannada-English) collected from social media. The comment/post may contain more than one sentence, but the average sentence length of the corpora is 1. Each comment/post is annotated at the comment/post level. This dataset also has class imbalance problems depicting real-world scenarios.

### Languages

Code-mixed text in Dravidian languages (Kannada-English).


## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example from the Kannada dataset looks as follows:

| text   | label |
| :------ | :----- |
| ���������  ��ͭ� heartly heltidini... plz avrigella namma nimmellara supprt beku          | 0 (Non_hope speech) |
| Next song gu kuda alru andre evaga yar comment  madidera alla alrru like madi share madi nam industry na next level ge togond hogaona.      | 1 (Hope Speech) |


### Data Fields

Kannada
- `text`: Kannada-English code mixed comment.
- `label`: integer from either of 0 or 1 that corresponds to these values: "Non_hope Speech", "Hope Speech"

### Data Splits

|         | train | validation | test |
|---------|------:|-----------:|-----:|
| Kannada |  4941 |        618 |  617 |

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Numerous methods have been developed to monitor the spread of negativity in modern years by eliminating vulgar, offensive, and fierce comments from social media platforms. However, there are relatively lesser amounts of study that converges on embracing positivity, reinforcing supportive and reassuring content in online forums.
