CAW 2.0 - Content Analysis for the WEB 2.0

Here you can download the training dataset for CAW2 2009 shared-tasks. You must be logged in to be able to download the data. If you still have not created an account, do it now. When you are logged in, come back to this page and you will see the download link below.

The provided dataset intends to comprehend a representative sample of what can be found in web 2.0. The data have been collected from six different public sites which have different kinds of information and are written in different styles. Some of them can be thought as more appropriate for some specific shared-task than others, but the three tasks should be able to deal with any message from any site. Participant teams are encouraged to preprocess and filter the data set to select the more relevant parts of it depending of the shared task they intend to participate in.

In the case of text normalization, this task can be seen as a previous step before performing the other two tasks. However, it is not intended that all teams participate in all the tasks, for this reason those sites for which text normalization is critical should be preferably used for shared-task 1 and those for which text normalization is not critical should be preferably used for shared-tasks 2 and 3.

No additional data should be used in any shared-tasks unless it can be shared with, and made publicly available for, all participant teams. If you intend to use any additional data and/or resource you must either upload it into this site or provide a link for download so it is available to all other participant teams.
