Dataset Card for Generics KB

Table of Contents

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

Dataset contains a large (3.5M+ sentence) knowledge base of generic sentences. This is the first large resource to contain naturally occurring generic sentences, rich in high-quality, general, semantically complete statements. All GenericsKB sentences are annotated with their topical term, surrounding context (sentences), and a (learned) confidence. We also release GenericsKB-Best (1M+ sentences), containing the best-quality generics in GenericsKB augmented with selected, synthesized generics from WordNet and ConceptNet. This demonstrates that GenericsKB can be a useful resource for NLP applications, as well as providing data for linguistic studies of generics and their semantics.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

The GENERICSKB contains 3,433,000 sentences. GENERICS-KB-BEST comprises of GENERICSKB generics with a score > 0.234, augmented with short generics synthesized from three other resources for all the terms (generic categories) in GENERICSKB- BEST. GENERICSKB-BEST contains 1,020,868 generics (774,621 from GENERICSKB plus 246,247 synthesized). SimpleWikipedia is a filtered scrape of SimpleWikipedia pages (simple.wikipedia.org). The Waterloo corpus is 280GB of English plain text, gathered by Charles Clarke (Univ. Waterloo) using a webcrawler in 2001 from .edu domains.

Sample SimpleWikipedia/ Waterloo config look like this 
{'source_name': 'SimpleWikipedia', 'sentence': 'Sepsis happens when the bacterium enters the blood and make it form tiny clots.', 'sentences_before': [], 'sentences_after': [], 'concept_name': 'sepsis', 'quantifiers': {}, 'id': 'SimpleWikipedia--tmp-sw-rs1-with-bug-fixes-initialprocessing-inputs-articles-with-clean-sentences-jsonl-c27816b298e1e0b5326916ee4e2fd0f1603caa77-100-Bubonic-plague--Different-kinds-of-the-same-disease--Septicemic-plague-0-0-039fbe9c11adde4ff9a829376ca7e0ed-1560874903-47882-/Users/chloea/Documents/aristo/commonsense/kbs/simplewikipedia/commonsense-filtered-good-rs1.jsonl-1f33b1e84018a2b1bfdf446f9a6491568b5585da-1561086091.8220549', 'bert_score': 0.8396177887916565}
Sample instance for Generics KB datasets look like this: 
{'source': 'Waterloo', 'term': 'aardvark', 'quantifier_frequency': '', 'quantifier_number': '', 'generic_sentence': 'Aardvarks are very gentle animals.', 'score': '0.36080607771873474'}
{'source': 'TupleKB', 'term': 'aardvark', 'quantifier_frequency': '', 'quantifier_number': '', 'generic_sentence': 'Aardvarks dig burrows.', 'score': '1.0'}

Data Fields

The fields in GenericsKB-Best.tsv and GenericsKB.tsv are as follows:

  • SOURCE: denotes the source of the generic
  • TERM: denotes the category that is the topic of the generic.
  • GENERIC SENTENCE: is the sentence itself.
  • SCORE: Is the BERT-trained score, measuring the degree to which the generic represents a "useful, general truth" about the world (as judged by crowdworkers). Score ranges from 0 (worst) to 1 (best). Sentences with scores below 0.23 (corresponding to an "unsure" vote by crowdworkers) are in GenericsKB, but are not part of GenericsKB-Best due to their unreliability.
  • QUANTIFIER_FREQUENCY:For generics with explicit quantifiers (all, most, etc.) the quantifier is listed - Frequency contains values such as 'usually', 'often', 'frequently'
  • QUANTIFIER_NUMBER: For generics with explicit quantifiers (all, most, etc.) with values such as 'all'|'any'|'most'|'much'|'some' etc...

The SimpleWiki/Waterloo generics from GenericsKB.tsv, but expanded to also include their surrounding context (before/after sentences). The Waterloo generics are the majority of GenericsKB. This zip file is 1.4GB expanding to 5.5GB. There is a json representation for every generic statement in the Generics KB. The generic statement is stored under the sentence field within the knowledge object. There is also a bert_score associated with each sentence which is the BERT-based classifier's score for the 'genericness' of the statement. This score is meant to reflect how much generalized world knowledge/commonsense the statement captures vs only being contextually meaningful. Detailed description of each of the fields:

  • source_name: The name of the corpus the generic statement was picked from.
  • sentence: The generic sentence.
  • sentences_before: Provides context information surrounding the generic statement from the original corpus.Up to five sentences preceding the generic sentence in the original corpus.
  • sentences_after: Up to five sentences following the generic sentence in the original corpus.
  • concept_name: A concept that is the subject of the generic statement.
  • quantifiers: The quantifiers for the key concept of the generic statement. There can be multiple quantifiers to allow for statements such as "All bats sometimes fly", where 'all' and 'sometimes' are both quantifiers reflecting number and frequency respectively.
  • id: Unique identifier for a generic statement in the kb.
  • bert_score: Score for the generic statement from the BERT-based generics classifier.
    Additional fields that apply only to SimpleWiki dataset
    • headings: A breadcrumb of section/subsection headings from the top down to the location of the generic statement in the corpus. It applies to SimpleWikipedia which has a hierarchical structure.
    • categories:The listed categories under which the source article falls. Applies to SimpleWikipedia.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

Data was crawled. SimpleWikipedia is a filtered scrape of SimpleWikipedia pages (simple.wikipedia.org). The Waterloo corpus is 280GB of English plain text, gathered by Charles Clarke (Univ. Waterloo) using a webcrawler in 2001 from .edu domains.

Annotations

Annotation process

Bert was used to decide whether the sentence is useful or not. Every sentence has a bert score.

Who are the annotators?

No annotations were made.
