| # TOFU with author identity names |
|
|
| This is a lossless, order-preserving derivative of the `full` configuration of |
| [`locuslab/TOFU`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/locuslab/TOFU). It adds one |
| column, `name`, so that all question-answer pairs about the same fictitious |
| author can be grouped as one deletion entity. |
|
|
| The source data was pinned at commit |
| `324592d84ae4f482ac7249b9285c2ecdb53e3a68`. The `question` and `answer` |
| values and their original order were not changed. |
|
|
| ## Loading |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| dataset = load_dataset("ClaudioSavelli/TOFU", "full", split="train") |
| ``` |
|
|
| The columns are: |
|
|
| - `question`: the original TOFU question. |
| - `answer`: the original TOFU answer. |
| - `name`: the full fictitious-author name assigned to the row. |
|
|
| This repository currently contains only the complete 4,000-row source cohort. |
| It does not yet define retain, forget, test, or sequential deletion-request |
| splits. |
|
|
| ## Identity construction and validation |
|
|
| The upstream `full` data is ordered as 200 consecutive author blocks, with 20 |
| question-answer pairs per author. Names were recovered from the text within |
| each block, and block membership was used for rows that refer to the author |
| only with a pronoun or shortened name. |
|
|
| Validation results: |
|
|
| - 4,000 rows and 200 distinct identity values; |
| - exactly 20 rows for every identity value; |
| - 3,969 rows contain their assigned full name verbatim in the question or |
| answer; |
| - 11 rows belonging to named authors omit the full name but are unambiguous |
| from their surrounding source block; |
| - one complete 20-row upstream block never states an author name. |
|
|
| The nameless source block is the Karachi-born Urban Fiction author at |
| zero-based identity position 88. Its rows are preserved and assigned the |
| explicit placeholder `__UNKNOWN_TOFU_IDENTITY_088__`. This is deliberately not |
| a fabricated person name. Consumers should treat the placeholder as one |
| entity and decide explicitly whether to retain, exclude, or repair that entity |
| before experiments that require every entity to have a natural-language name. |
