# How to publish LEGEX to Hugging Face anonymously This walkthrough takes the contents of `submission/` and publishes **three public Hugging Face dataset repositories** under the anonymous account `legexbenchmark`: 1. **`legexbenchmark/goldensets`** — expert-coded gold annotations (19 jurisdictions, 1,548 judgments / 1,974 rows incl. secondary re-annotations). 2. **`legexbenchmark/inference-results`** — Harvey (2 runs) / Gemini / GPT / Legora (2 runs) outputs (19 jurisdictions × 6 runs = 114 files, JSONL) plus the per-column prompts of the commercial runs (`prompts/`, 4 files). 3. **`legexbenchmark/code`** — Python pipeline (scrape → process → infer → clean → evaluate). > **All data files are JSONL** (one JSON object per line). Inference was CSV > in the first release and is now JSONL — see *Updating an existing release* > below. --- ## 0. Updating an existing release (goldensets + inference-results) The three repos already exist, and local clones live in `../hf-uploads/{goldensets,inference-results,code}`. The staged bundle (`submission/goldensets/`, `submission/inference-results/`) mirrors the two data repos 1:1: data + the per-repo dataset card (`README.md`). Rebuild the bundle only if the underlying data changed (`convert_goldenset_to_jsonl.py` needs the local-only `data/reannotation/annotators.json` + `ANNOTATOR_SALT` from `.env`): ```bash uv run python submission/convert_goldenset_to_jsonl.py --data-dir data --out-dir submission/goldensets/data (cd submission && uv run python build_inference_jsonl.py --data-dir ../data --gold-dir goldensets/data --out-dir inference-results/data) ``` When the working trees in `../hf-uploads/` are already synced from `submission/` (data + README copied in, stale CSVs removed), pushing the update is: ```bash # Log in once with the anonymous account's WRITE token. pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub && git lfs install --skip-repo huggingface-cli login # paste the hf_… write token huggingface-cli whoami # must print: legexbenchmark # --- goldensets --- cd ../hf-uploads/goldensets git status && git diff --stat # review: data//*.jsonl + README.md git config user.name anonymous && git config user.email anonymous@anonymous.invalid git add -A git commit -m "Update: re-annotations, Nepal/Singapore extensions, traceability fields, refreshed card" git push cd - # --- inference-results (CSV -> JSONL) --- cd ../hf-uploads/inference-results git status # review: CSVs deleted, 57 JSONL added, README.md, .gitattributes git config user.name anonymous && git config user.email anonymous@anonymous.invalid git add -A git commit -m "Switch inference to JSONL; 19 jurisdictions; cleaning provenance; refreshed card" git push cd - ``` Then **verify usability** (the old CSV raised `ArrowInvalid`): ```python from datasets import load_dataset load_dataset("legexbenchmark/goldensets", split="brazil") load_dataset("legexbenchmark/inference-results", "harvey", split="united_states") load_dataset("legexbenchmark/inference-results", "gpt", split="switzerland") ``` Also confirm on the web UI that every commit author reads **`anonymous`**, the dataset viewer renders both repos, and no `inference_*.csv` remain in `inference-results`. **`code`** is updated separately once the cleaned analysis package is staged — see item 3 of [CHANGES_SINCE_SUBMISSION.md](CHANGES_SINCE_SUBMISSION.md). --- ## 1. Create the anonymous Hugging Face account (once) 1. Open a private / incognito browser window so cookies from any existing HF account are isolated. 2. Visit . 3. Sign up with a **fresh email address** that is not tied to any of the authors (a `proton.me` / `tutanota.com` mailbox works fine). 4. Pick the username **`legexbenchmark`** so the public URLs match the names used in the paper. 5. Verify the email and log in. > **Why a fresh account?** HF attaches your account's display name, avatar > and email to commits in each repo's history. Reusing an existing account > would leak your identity even if every file in the repo is clean. ## 2. Create a write-scoped access token (once) 1. Visit . 2. Click **New token**, name it `upload`, role **Write**, click **Generate token**, copy the value (it starts with `hf_`). ## 3. Install the tooling and log in (once) ```bash pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub git lfs install --skip-repo # macOS: brew install git-lfs first # Paste the write token created in step 2 when prompted. huggingface-cli login ``` ## 4. Push the three repositories (initial release) Run steps 4a → 4c **in order**. Each step is independent — if something breaks in 4b you can fix it without redoing 4a. ### 4a. Push `legexbenchmark/goldensets` ```bash # 1. Create the empty repo via the web UI: # https://huggingface.co/new-dataset # Owner: legexbenchmark | Name: goldensets | License: MIT | Public # 2. Clone, anonymise local git, copy in the staged files. git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/legexbenchmark/goldensets hf-goldensets cd hf-goldensets git config user.name "anonymous" git config user.email "anonymous@anonymous.invalid" git lfs track "*.jsonl" git add .gitattributes cp -R ../submission/goldensets/. . # 3. Commit and push. git add . git commit -m "Initial release" git push -u origin main cd .. ``` Open . Verify: - The dataset card renders with the jurisdiction tables. - `data//goldenset_.jsonl` is browsable for all 19 jurisdictions. - The author next to every commit is **`anonymous`**. ### 4b. Push `legexbenchmark/inference-results` ```bash # 1. Create the empty repo: # https://huggingface.co/new-dataset # Owner: legexbenchmark | Name: inference-results | License: MIT | Public # 2. Clone, anonymise, copy in. git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/legexbenchmark/inference-results hf-inference cd hf-inference git config user.name "anonymous" git config user.email "anonymous@anonymous.invalid" git lfs track "*.jsonl" git add .gitattributes cp -R ../submission/inference-results/. . # 3. Commit and push. git add . git commit -m "Initial release" git push -u origin main cd .. ``` Verify on : - 19 `data//` folders (all jurisdictions). - Each folder has `inference_harvey.jsonl`, `inference_gemini.jsonl`, `inference_gpt.jsonl` (no `.csv`). ### 4c. Push `legexbenchmark/code` ```bash # 1. Create the empty repo: # https://huggingface.co/new-dataset # Owner: legexbenchmark | Name: code | License: MIT | Public # (HF dataset repos accept arbitrary files — we use "dataset" type as # the most permissive container for source code.) # 2. Clone, anonymise, copy in the cleaned package (see # CHANGES_SINCE_SUBMISSION.md item 3 for what goes into the code repo). git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/legexbenchmark/code hf-code cd hf-code git config user.name "anonymous" git config user.email "anonymous@anonymous.invalid" # 3. Commit and push. git add . git commit -m "Initial release" git push -u origin main cd .. ``` Verify on : - The repo card lists the CLI entrypoints and the workflow. - `legex/scrapers/` contains 19 jurisdiction modules. ## 5. Cross-verify the org page Open in a fresh tab — you should see three pinned datasets. Click each card and confirm: - The README renders correctly. - The "Files and versions" tab is browsable. - No identifying information appears next to commits (everything should read `anonymous`). Also run one final string search per repo via the file viewer for your own surname, your affiliation, and your work email domain: ``` # must return nothing # must return nothing # must return nothing ``` ## 6. Share with reviewers The single URL that ties the three repos together is . Add it to the supplementary material of your OpenReview submission; reviewers can browse all three datasets from that org page without logging into HF. --- ## Troubleshooting **A commit shows your real name despite the local config.** Run `git log -1 --pretty='%an <%ae>'` inside the clone. If it still shows your real identity, redo `git config user.name / user.email` and then `git commit --amend --reset-author` before pushing. **HF complains about LFS quota.** Free accounts get 1 GB of LFS storage; this release uses ~30 MB so quota is not a concern. **A file exceeds 5 GB.** None of the files in this release do. If a future addition does, `git lfs track` the path and recommit. **You want to delete a repo.** Each repo's Settings page has "Delete this dataset repository" — that removes files and history. **You need to re-push after a fix.** `cd` into the local clone, edit, commit with `--reset-author` if you also re-ran `git config`, then `git push`. **Reviewers ask for a single zip.** HF's "Use this dataset" → "Repository size" → "Download repository" gives a `.tar.gz` of the whole repo.
