{"url":"/dataset/natural-sentences-that-contain-any","name":"Natural sentences that contain *any*","full_name":null,"description_markdown":"We scraped the Gutenberg Project and a subset of English Wikipedia to obtain the list of sentences that contain *any*. Next, using a combination of heuristics, we filtered the result with regular expressions to produce two sets of sentences (the second set underwent additional manual filtration):\r\n   * 3844 sentences with sentential negation and a plural object with *any* to the right to the verb;\r\n   * 330 sentences with *nobody* / *no one* as subject and a plural object with *any* to the right.\r\n\r\nThe first set was modified to substitute the negated verb by its non-negated version, so we contrast 3844 sentences with negation and 3844 affirmative ones (*neg* vs. *aff*). In the second dataset, we substituted *nobody* for *somebody* and *no one* for *someone*, to check the *some* vs. *no* contrast.\r\n\r\nYou can use our script to find sentences with negation and *any* in any given English corpus:\r\n\r\n```python dataset_preparation/select_sentences_from_real_text.py <corpus.txt>```","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/altsoph/Transformers-in-the-loop","introduced_date":"2021-09-08","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/transformers-in-the-loop-polarity-in-neural","title":"Transformers in the loop: Polarity in neural models of language","first_author":"Lisa Bylinina","url":null},"license":null,"modalities":[{"name":"Texts","url":"/datasets/modality/texts"}],"tasks":[],"languages":[{"name":"English","url":"/datasets/language/english"}],"variants":["Natural sentences that contain *any*"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":1,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
