ParaDetox: Detoxification with Parallel Data (Russian). Toxicity Task Results

This repository contains information about Toxicity Task markup from Russian Paradetox dataset collection pipeline.

ParaDetox Collection Pipeline

The ParaDetox Dataset collection was done via Yandex.Toloka crowdsource platform. The collection was done in three steps:

• Task 1: Generation of Paraphrases: The first crowdsourcing task asks users to eliminate toxicity in a given sentence while keeping the content.
• Task 2: Content Preservation Check: We show users the generated paraphrases along with their original variants and ask them to indicate if they have close meanings.
• Task 3: Toxicity Check: Finally, we check if the workers succeeded in removing toxicity.

Specifically this repo contains the results of Task 3: Toxicity Check. Here, the samples with markup confidence >= 90 are present. The input here is text and the label shows if the text is toxic or not. Totally, datasets contains 6,354 samples. Among them, the minor part is toxic examples (1,506 pairs).

    abstract = "It is often difficult to reliably evaluate models which generate text. Among them, text style transfer is a particularly difficult to evaluate, because its success depends on a number of parameters.We conduct an evaluation of a large number of models on a detoxification task. We explore the relations between the manual and automatic metrics and find that there is only weak correlation between them, which is dependent on the type of model which generated text. Automatic metrics tend to be less reliable for better-performing models. However, our findings suggest that, ChrF and BertScore metrics can be used as a proxy for human evaluation of text detoxification to some extent.",
