Sentiment Polarity Dataset Version 2.0

Dataset Description

This dataset is available on NLTK as the "movie_reviews" dataset. The Sentiment Polarity Dataset Version 2.0 was developed by Bo Pang and Lillian Lee. I'm uploading it as a Huggingface dataset for a lab task.

The following information is from the README file distributed with the NLTK version of the data-set.

=======

Data Format Summary

File names consist of a cross-validation tag plus the name of the original html file. The ten folds used in the Pang/Lee ACL 2004 paper's experiments were:

 fold 1: files tagged cv000 through cv099, in numerical order
 fold 2: files tagged cv100 through cv199, in numerical order     
 ...
 fold 10: files tagged cv900 through cv999, in numerical order

Hence, the file neg/cv114_19501.txt, for example, was labeled as negative, served as a member of fold 2, and was extracted from the file 19501.html in polarity_html.zip (see below).

Each line in each text file corresponds to a single sentence, as determined by Adwait Ratnaparkhi's sentence boundary detector MXTERMINATOR.

Preliminary steps were taken to remove rating information from the text files, but only the rating information upon which the rating decision was based is guaranteed to have been removed. Thus, if the original review contains several instances of rating information, potentially given in different forms, those not recognized as valid ratings remain part of the review text.

Specifically:

This data consists of unprocessed, unlabeled html files from the IMDb archive of the rec.arts.movies.reviews newsgroup, http://reviews.imdb.com/Reviews.

Rating Decision (Appendix A)

This section describes how we determined whether a review was positive or negative.

The original html files do not have consistent formats -- a review may not have the author's rating with it, and when it does, the rating can appear at different places in the file in different forms. We only recognize some of the more explicit ratings, which are extracted via a set of ad-hoc rules. In essence, a file's classification is determined based on the first rating we were able to identify.

In order to obtain more accurate rating decisions, the maximum rating must be specified explicitly, both for numerical ratings and star ratings. ("8/10", "four out of five", and "OUT OF ****: ***" are examples of rating indications we recognize.)
With a five-star system (or compatible number systems): three-and-a-half stars and up are considered positive, two stars and below are considered negative.
With a four-star system (or compatible number system): three stars and up are considered positive, one-and-a-half stars and below are considered negative.
With a letter grade system: B or above is considered positive, C- or below is considered negative.

We attempted to recognize half stars, but they are specified in an especially free way, which makes them difficult to recognize. Hence, we may lose a half star very occasionally; but this only results in 2.5 stars in five star system being categorized as negative, which is still reasonable.
