#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Run this script as ./conversion_script.py to convert the Cause-Effect relation subset of SemEval-2007 Task 4 ("Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals") into HF-compatible parquet files. Citation / original source --------------------------- Girju, R., Hearst, M., Nakov, P., Nastase, V., Szpakowicz, S., Turney, P., & Yuret, D. (2007). "SemEval-2007 Task 04: Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals." Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluations (SemEval-2007), pages 13-18. https://aclanthology.org/S07-1003/ License: CC BY-SA 2.5 (verified: the dataset's own bundled `copyright.txt` states "The Complete Dataset and the Trial Dataset for Task 4 are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 License"). The task covers SEVEN semantic relations between nominal pairs (Cause-Effect, Instrument-Agency, Product-Producer, Origin-Entity, Theme-Tool, Part-Whole, Content-Container), one file per relation (``relation-1`` .. ``relation-7``); only relation-1 (verified directly by reading its own definition PDF: "Cause-Effect") is used here. Repo (verified live, public, no login, byte-identical to the original archive -- diffed relation-1's train/test/key files directly against a copy fetched from the official SemEval-2007 distribution before trusting it): github.com/davidsbatista/Annotated-Semantic-Relationships-Datasets, ``datasets/SemEval2007-Task4.tar.gz`` (a plain, uncompressed POSIX tar despite the ``.tar.gz`` name -- verified via ``file``), containing nested ``train.tar.gz``/``test.tar.gz``/``key.tar.gz``. Format: each relation file is a sequence of blank-line-separated records: ``NNN "sentence with ... and ... markers"`` ``WordNet(e1) = "...", WordNet(e2) = "...", Cause-Effect(eX,eY) = "true"/"false"/"?", Query = "..."`` optionally followed by a ``Comment:`` line. The ````/```` markers are ALREADY in this project's own marker format (verified: `causalatee.data.utils.parse_entity_markers` parses them directly with no preprocessing). The ``Cause-Effect(eX,eY)`` argument order gives the (cause, effect) role assignment for THAT record -- verified this is NOT fixed: 130/140 train records use ``(e2,e1)`` but 10/140 use ``(e1,e2)`` (e.g. record 011: "Zinc is essential for growth", Cause-Effect(e1,e2) -- zinc causes growth, e1 IS the cause here), so the parser reads the argument order per record rather than assuming a fixed e2->e1 direction. Train (140 records, real true/false labels inline) and test (80 records, label hidden as "?" in ``test/relation-1-test.txt``) are SEPARATE files; test's real gold labels live in a third file, ``key/relation-1-score.txt`` -- verified: matched 1:1 by record index against test's own text/entity- direction with 0 mismatches across all 80 test records. Total 220 records (114 true / 106 false) -- note Hagen et al. 2026 (arXiv:2510.08224) Table 2 cites this as "220 causal + 114 noncausal": 220 is actually the TOTAL record count here, and 114 matches this project's own CAUSAL count, not noncausal (106) -- looks like a mislabeling in that table (total mistaken for the causal count, or causal/noncausal swapped), not a mismatch in this conversion; flagged rather than silently reproduced. causality-detection uses all 220 records (label = causal iff true). causal-candidate-extraction/causality-identification use only the 114 causal (true) records for their entity/relation content -- matching this project's established convention elsewhere (e.g. BioCause, FinCausal) of only extracting spans that back an actual relation; the 106 false records still appear in causality-identification (entities marked, empty relations list) so the evaluation harness's own pair-flattening can derive negative pairs from them, exactly as for every other dataset here.
