| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| * SemEval 2019 task 1 | |
| ### Languages | |
| English of various origins, bcp47: `en` | |
| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| #### polstance | |
| An example of 'train' looks as follows. | |
| ``` | |
| { | |
| 'id': '0', | |
| 'source_text': 'Appalled by the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, 10 - probably journalists - now confirmed dead. An attack on free speech everywhere.', | |
| 'reply_text': '@m33ryg @tnewtondunn @mehdirhasan Of course it is free speech, that\'s the definition of "free speech" to openly make comments or draw a pic!', | |
| 'label': 3 | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| - `id`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `source_text`: a `string` expressing a claim/topic. | |
| - `reply_text`: a `string` to be classified for its stance to the source. | |
| - `label`: a class label representing the stance the text expresses towards the target. Full tagset with indices: | |
| ``` | |
| 0: "support", | |
| 1: "deny", | |
| 2: "query", | |
| 3: "comment" | |
| ``` | |
| - `quoteID`: a `string` of the internal quote ID. | |
| - `party`: a `string` describing the party affiliation of the quote utterer at the time of utterance. | |
| - `politician`: a `string` naming the politician who uttered the quote. | |
