### Data Instances

```
7,7,7,7,7.0,"Aquest restaurant té una llarga història. Ara han tornat a canviar d'amos i aquest canvi s'ha vist molt repercutit en la carta, preus, servei, etc. Hi ha molta varietat de menjar, i tot boníssim, amb especialitats molt ben trobades. El servei molt càlid i agradable, dóna gust que et serveixin així. I la decoració molt agradable també, bastant curiosa. En fi, pel meu gust, un bon restaurant i bé de preu.",bo

8,9,8,7,8.0,"Molt recomanable en tots els sentits. El servei és molt atent, pulcre i gens agobiant; alhora els plats també presenten un aspecte acurat, cosa que fa, juntament amb l'ambient, que t'oblidis de que, malauradament, està situat pròxim a l'autopista.Com deia, l'ambient és molt acollidor, té un menjador principal molt elegant, perfecte per quedar bé amb tothom!Tot i això, destacar la bona calitat / preu, ja que aquest restaurant té una carta molt extensa en totes les branques i completa, tant de menjar com de vins. Pel qui entengui de vins, podriem dir que tot i tenir una carta molt rica, es recolza una mica en els clàssics.",molt bo

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

We created this corpus to contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language. 

### Source Data

The data of this dataset has been provided by [GuiaCat](https://guiacat.cat).

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

[N/A]

#### Who are the source language producers?

The language producers were the users from GuiaCat.

### Annotations

The annotations are automatically derived from the scores that the users provided while reviewing the restaurants.

#### Annotation process

The mapping between average scores and labels is:
- Higher than 8: molt bo
- Between 8 and 6: bo
- Between 6 and 4: regular
- Between 4 and 2: dolent
- Less than 2: molt dolent

#### Who are the annotators?

Users

### Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal information included, although it could contain hate or abusive language.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

We hope this corpus contributes to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.

### Discussion of Biases

We are aware that this data might contain biases. We have not applied any steps to reduce their impact.

### Other Known Limitations
