📄 Argument Topic¶

Argument Quality Ranking The dataset contains 30,497 crowd-sourced arguments for 71 debatable topics labeled for quality and stance, split into train, validation and test sets. The dataset was originally published as part of our paper: A Large-scale Dataset for Argument Quality Ranking: Construction and Analysis. Argument Topic This subset contains 9,487 of the… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ibm/argument_quality_ranking_30k.

Explanation about TaskCard¶

TaskCard delineates the phases in transforming the source dataset into model input, and specifies the metrics for evaluation of model output.

Attributes:
loader: specifies the source address and the loading operator that can access that source and transform it into a unitxt multistream.

preprocess_steps: list of unitxt operators to process the data source into model input.

task: specifies the fields (of the already (pre)processed instance) making the inputs, the fields making the outputs, and the metrics to be used for evaluating the model output.

templates: format strings to be applied on the input fields (specified by the task) and the output fields. The template also carries the instructions and the list of postprocessing steps, to be applied to the model output.

Explanation about Set¶

Adds specified fields to each instance in a given stream or all streams (default) If fields exist, updates them.

Args:

fields (Dict[str, object]): The fields to add to each instance.
Use ‘/’ to access inner fields

use_deepcopy (bool) : Deep copy the input value to avoid later modifications

Examples:
# Add a ‘classes’ field with a value of a list “positive” and “negative” to all streams Set(fields={“classes”: [“positive”,”negatives”]})

# Add a ‘start’ field under the ‘span’ field with a value of 0 to all streams Set(fields={“span/start”: 0}

# Add a ‘classes’ field with a value of a list “positive” and “negative” to ‘train’ stream Set(fields={“classes”: [“positive”,”negatives”], apply_to_stream=[“train”]})

# Add a ‘classes’ field on a given list, prevent modification of original list # from changing the instance. Set(fields={“classes”: alist}), use_deepcopy=True) # if now alist is modified, still the instances remain intact.

Explanation about LoadHF¶

Loads datasets from the HuggingFace Hub.

It supports loading with or without streaming, and it can filter datasets upon loading.
Args:
path: The path or identifier of the dataset on the HuggingFace Hub. name: An optional dataset name. data_dir: Optional directory to store downloaded data. split: Optional specification of which split to load. data_files: Optional specification of particular data files to load. revision: Optional. The revision of the dataset. Often the commit id. Use in case you want to set the dataset version. streaming: Bool indicating if streaming should be used. filtering_lambda: A lambda function for filtering the data after loading. num_proc: Optional integer to specify the number of processes to use for parallel dataset loading.

Example:
Loading glue’s mrpc dataset
load_hf = LoadHF(path='glue', name='mrpc')
