Dataset Summary

The Stanford Sentiment Treebank is a corpus with fully labeled parse trees that allows for a complete analysis of the compositional effects of sentiment in language. The corpus is based on the dataset introduced by Pang and Lee (2005) and consists of 11,855 single sentences extracted from movie reviews. It was parsed with the Stanford parser and includes a total of 215,154 unique phrases from those parse trees, each annotated by 3 human judges.

Dataset Structure

The modifications carried out in the dataset are thought to evaluate cognitive biases in a few-shot setting and with two different task complexities. We make use of 25,000 instances from the original dataset, while the remaining ones serve as few-shot examples. Each instance is prompted with all possible unbalanced 4-shot distributions. To increase the original task complexity, we also introduce an additional neutral example between the first and last two examples.

Dataset Fields

• idx: original sentence id, in the format <original_partition>_<original_id>.
• sentence: test sentence.
• label: sentiment of the test sentence, either "negative" (0) or "positive" (1).
• dist: few-shot distribution (0000, 1111, 0001, 0010, 0100, 1000, 1110, 1101, 1011, 0111).
• shot<n>_idx: original id of the example sentence, in the format <original_partition>_<original_id>.
• shot<n>_sent: example sentence.
• shot<n>_label: sentiment of the example sentence.
• few_shot_string: string with all 4 shots the sentence is prompted with.
• few_shot_hard_string: string with the same 4 shots and an additional neutral example between the first and last two to increase task complexity.
