# Data Description:
This is a dataset suitable for the __multilingual ABSA__ task with __triplet extraction__.

All datasets are stored in the data/ folder:

- All dataset contains __7__ domains. 

 ```
domains = ["coursera", "hotel", "laptop", "restaurant", "phone", "sight", "food"]
``` 
- Each dataset contains __21__ languages.
```
langs = ["ar", "da", "de", "en", "es", "fr", "hi", "hr", "id", "ja", "ko", "nl", "pt", "ru", "sk", "sv", "sw", "th", "tr", "vi", "zh"]
```

- The labels contain triplets with __[aspect term, aspect category, sentiment polarity]__. Each sentence is separated by __"####"__, with the first part being the sentence and the second part being the corresponding triplet. Here is an example, where the triplet includes __[aspect term, aspect category, sentiment polarity]__.

```
This coffee brews up a nice medium roast with exotic floral and berry notes .####[['coffee', 'food quality', 'positive']]
```

- Each dataset is divided into training, validation, and test sets.
