SPOT: Sentiment Polarity Annotations Dataset

The SPOT dataset contains 197 reviews originating from the Yelp'13 and IMDB collections ([1][2]), annotated with segment-level polarity labels (positive/neutral/negative). Annotations have been gathered on 2 levels of granulatiry:

  • Sentences
  • Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs), i.e. sub-sentence clauses produced by a state-of-the-art RST parser [3]

This dataset is intended to aid sentiment analysis research and, in particular, the evaluation of methods that attempt to predict sentiment on a fine-grained, segment-level basis.

Statistics and details about the dataset's creation can be found in our paper:

Multiple Instance Learning Networks for Fine-Grained Sentiment Analysis,
Stefanos Angelidis, Mirella Lapata. 2017.
To appear in Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL).
[ arXiv ]

The models proposed in the paper are trained using document-level supervision only, on the original Yelp'13 and IMDB collections. Preprocessed versions of the 2 original datasets, including both sentence- and EDU-split variants, are available here.

Details

The SPOT dataset is split into 4 subsets based on the origin (Yelp'13 / IMDB) and segmentation policy (sentences / EDUs) used, resulting in the following 4 files:

  • spot-yelp13-sent.txt
  • spot-yelp13-edus.txt
  • spot-imdb-sent.txt
  • spot-imdb-edus.txt

Each file lists documents and their fine-grained annotations using the following format:

  1. A document begins with a line containing its document-level sentiment label (0 to 4 for Yelp'13, 0 to 9 for IMDB), followed by exactly 1 space character, and a document id, unique for the particular collection.
  2. The individually annotated segments are listed after that, one segment per line. Each line begins with a single character that indicates the segment-level sentiment label (+/0/-), followed by a single <tab>, and the segment itself.
  3. After all the segments are listed, a single empty line marks the end of the document.

Example:

3 0318862
-	This location is in a scary neighborhood .
+	But , the inside was renovated with mcd 's new interior design .
+	So it looks nice and well kept up thus far .
-	The cashier i got tried to charge me for using my living social deal .
-	He said it was just $ 1 off , when in fact the ls deal was prepaid for already .
+	I told him to ask his manager and she would correct him , which she did .
+	Fries were good .
0	I likely will return to this location , but maybe not at night .
