JOSA Corpus

Jopara (Guarani-dominant mixed with Spanish) Sentiment Analysis (JOSA) corpus.

Corpora

We collected a dataset of tweets primarily written in Guarani (and Jopara, a code-switching language that combines Guarani and Spanish) and annotated them polarity (positive, neutral and negative classes) in sentiment analysis. We created two corpora:

1. Unbalanced with 3941 tweets, and
2. Balanced with 1526 tweets, created from Unbalanced set.

The statistics for the Jopara Sentiment Analysis corpus and their splits for each proposed set:

    abstract = "This paper addresses the problem of sentiment analysis for Jopara, a code-switching language between Guarani and Spanish. We first collect a corpus of Guarani-dominant tweets and discuss on the difficulties of finding quality data for even relatively easy-to-annotate tasks, such as sentiment analysis. Then, we train a set of neural models, including pre-trained language models, and explore whether they perform better than traditional machine learning ones in this low-resource setup. Transformer architectures obtain the best results, despite not considering Guarani during pre-training, but traditional machine learning models perform close due to the low-resource nature of the problem.",
