### Dataset Summary

This dataset is a synthetic dataset containing structure-to-structure transformation tasks between 
English sentences in 3 forms: active, passive, and logical.  The dataset also includes several 
tree-transformation diagnostic/warm-up tasks.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[TBD]

### Languages

All data is in English.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of several subsets, or tasks. Each task contains a train split, a validation split, and a
test split, with most tasks also containing two out-of-distruction splits (one for new adjectives and one for longer adjective phrases).  

Each sample in a split contains a source string, a target string, and 0-2 annotation strings.

### Dataset Subsets (Tasks)
The dataset consists of diagnostic/warm-up tasks and core tasks.  The core tasks represent the translation of English sentences between the active, passive, and logical forms.

The 12 diagnostic/warm-up tasks are:

```
- car_cdr_cons              (small phrase translation tasks that require only: CAR, CDR, or CAR+CDR+CONS operations)
- car_cdr_cons_tuc          (same task as car_cdr_cons, but requires mapping lowercase fillers to their uppercase tokens)
- car_cdr_rcons             (same task as car_cdr_cons, but the CONS samples have their left/right children swapped)
- car_cdr_rcons_tuc         (same task as car_cdr_rcons, but requires mapping lowercase fillers to their uppercase tokens)
- car_cdr_seq               (each samples requires 1-4 combinations of CAR and CDR, as identified by the root filler oken)
- car_cdr_seq_40k           (same task as car_cdr_seq, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- car_cdr_seq_tuc           (same task as car_cdr_seq, but requires mapping lowercase fillers to their uppercase tokens)
- car_cdr_seq_40k_tuc       (same task as car_cdr_seq_tuc, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- car_cdr_seq_path          (similiar to car_cdr_seq, but each needed operation in represented as a node in the left child of the root)
- car_cdr_seq_path_40k      (same task as car_cdr_seq_path, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- car_cdr_seq_path_40k_tuc  (same task as car_cdr_seq_path_40k, but requires mapping lowercase fillers to their uppercase tokens)
- car_cdr_seq_path_tuc      (same task as car_cdr_seq_path, but requires mapping lowercase fillers to their uppercase tokens)
```

There are 22 core tasks are:
```
- active_active_stb         (active sentence translation, from sentence to parenthesized tree form, both directions)
- active_active_stb_40k     (same task as active_active_stb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- active_logical_ssb        (active to logical sentence translation, in both directions)
- active_logical_ssb_40k    (same task as active_logical_ssb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- active_logical_ttb        (active to logical tree translation, in both directions)
- active_logical_ttb_40k    (same task as active_logical_ttb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- active_passive_ssb        (active to passive sentence translation, in both directions)
- active_passive_ssb_40k    (same task as active_passive_ssb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- active_passive_ttb        (active to passive tree translation, in both directions)
- active_passive_ttb_40k    (same task as active_passive_ttb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- actpass_logical_ss        (mixture of active to logical and passive to logical sentence translations, single direction)
- actpass_logical_ss_40k    (same task as actpass_logical_ss, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- actpass_logical_tt        (mixture of active to logical and passive to logical tree translations, single direction)
- actpass_logical_tt_40k    (same task as actpass_logical_tt, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- logical_logical_stb       (logical form sentence translation, from sentence to parenthesized tree form, both directions)
- logical_logical_stb_40k   (same task as logical_logical_stb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- passive_logical_ssb       (passive to logical sentence translation, in both directions)
- passive_logical_ssb_40k   (same task as passive_logical_ssb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
- passive_logical_ttb       (passive to logical tree translation, in both directions)
- passive_logical_ttb_40k   (same task as passive_logical_ttb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)

- passive_passive_stb       (passive sentence translation, from sentence to parenthesized tree form, both directions)
- passive_passive_stb_40k   (same task as passive_passive_stb, but train samples increased from 10K to 40K)
```

### Data Splits

Most tasks have the following splits:
  - train
  - validation
  - test
  - ood_new
  - ood_long
  - ood_all
  
Here is a table showing how the number of examples varies by split (for most tasks):

| Dataset Split | Number of Instances in Split                |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| train         | 10,000                                      |
| validation    |  1,250                                      |
| test          |  1,250                                      |
| ood_new       |  1,250                                      |
| ood_long      |  1,250                                      |
| ood_all       |  1,250                                      |


### Data Instances

For each sample, there is source and target string.  Source and target string are either plain text, or a parenthesized 
version of a tree, depending on the task.

Here is an example from the *train* split of the *active_passive_ttb* task:

```
{
  'source': '( S ( NP ( DET his ) ( AP ( N cat ) ) ) ( VP ( V discovered ) ( NP ( DET the ) ( AP ( ADJ blue ) ( AP ( N priest ) ) ) ) ) )',
  'target': '( S ( NP ( DET the ) ( AP ( ADJ blue ) ( AP ( N priest ) ) ) ) ( VP ( AUXPS was ) ( VPPS ( V discovered ) ( PPPS ( PPS by ) ( NP ( DET his ) ( AP ( N cat ) ) ) ) ) ) )',
  'direction': 'forward'
}
```

### Data Fields

- `source`: the string denoting the sequence or tree structure to be translated 
- `target`: the string denoting the gold (aka label) sequence or tree structure  

Optional annotation fields (their presence varies by task):

- `direction`: describes the direction of the translation (forward, backward), relative to the task name 
- `count` : a string denoting the count of symbolic operations needed (e.g., "s3") to translate the source to the target
- `class` : a string denoting the type of translation needed

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

We wanted a dataset comprised of relatively simple English active/passive/logical form translations, where we could focus 
on two types of out of distribution generalization: longer source sequences and new adjectives.  

### Source Data

[N/A]

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

[N/A]

#### Who are the source language producers?

The dataset by generated from templates designed by Paul Smolensky and Roland Fernandez.

### Annotations

Besides the source and target structured sequences, some of the subsets (tasks) contain 1-2 additional columns that
describe the category and tree depth of each sample.

#### Annotation process

The annotation columns were generated from the each sample template and source sequence.

#### Who are the annotators?

[N/A]

### Personal and Sensitive Information

No names or other sensitive information are included in the data.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

The purpose of this dataset is to help develop models that can translated structured data from one form to another, in a
way that generalizes to out of distribution adjective values and lengths.

### Discussion of Biases

[TBD]

### Other Known Limitations

[TBD]

## Additional Information

The internal name of this dataset is nc_pat.  

### Dataset Curators
