# Multi-EuP-v2
This dataset card documents **Multi-EuP-v2**, a multilingual corpus of European Parliament debate speeches enriched with Member of European Parliament (MEP) metadata and multilingual debate titles/IDs. It supports research on political text analysis, speaker-attribute prediction, stance/vote prediction, multilingual NLP, and retrieval.
## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
**Multi-EuP-v2** aggregates **50,337** debate speeches (each a unique `did`) in **24 languages**. Each row contains the speech text (`TEXT`), speaker identity (`NAME`, `MEPID`), language (`LANGUAGE`), political group (`PARTY`), country and gender of the MEP, date, video timestamps, plus **multilingual debate titles `title_<LANG>`** and **per-language debate/vote linkage IDs `qid_<LANG>`**.
- **Curated by:** Jinrui Yang, Fan Jiang, Timothy Baldwin
- **Funded by:** Melbourne Research Scholarship; LIEF HPC-GPGPU Facility (LE170100200)
- **Shared by:** University of Melbourne
- **Language(s) (NLP):** `bg, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, ga, hr, hu, it, lt, lv, mt, nl, pl, pt, ro, sk, sl, sv` (24 total)
- **License:** cc-by-4.0
### Dataset Sources
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/jrnlp/MLIR_language_bias]
- **Paper:** https://aclanthology.org/2024.mrl-1.23/
## Uses
### Direct Use
- **Text classification:** predict `gender`, `PARTY`, or `country` from `TEXT`.
- **Stance/vote prediction:** link `qid_<LANG>` to external roll-call vote labels.
- **Multilingual representation learning:** train/evaluate models across 24 EU languages.
- **Information retrieval:** index `TEXT` and use `title_*`/`qid_*` as multilingual query anchors.
### Out-of-Scope Use
- Inferring private attributes beyond public MEP metadata.
- Automated profiling for sensitive decisions.
- Misrepresenting model outputs as factual statements.
## Dataset Structure
Each row corresponds to a single speech/document.
**Core fields:**
- `did` *(string)* — unique speech ID
- `TEXT` *(string)* — speech text
- `DATE` *(string/date)* — debate date
- `LANGUAGE` *(string)* — language code
- `NAME` *(string)* — MEP name
- `MEPID` *(string)* — MEP ID
- `PARTY` *(string)* — political group
- `country` *(string)* — MEP's country
- `gender` *(string)* — `Female`, `Male`, or `Unknown`
- Additional provenance fields: `PRESIDENT`, `TEXTID`, `CODICT`, `VOD-START`, `VOD-END`
**Multilingual metadata:**
- `title_<LANG>` *(string)* — debate title in that language
- `qid_<LANG>` *(string)* — debate/vote linkage ID in that language
**Splits:** Single CSV, no predefined splits.
**Basic stats:**
- Rows: 50,337
- Languages: 24
- Top political groups: PPE 8,869; S-D 8,468; Renew 5,313; ECR 4,130; Verts/ALE 4,001; ID 3,286; The Left 2,951; NI 2,539; GUE/NGL 468
- Gender counts: Female 25,536; Male 23,461; Unknown 349
- Top countries: Germany 7,226; France 6,158; Poland 3,706; Spain 3,312; Italy 3,222; Netherlands 1,924; Greece 1,756; Romania 1,701; Czechia 1,661; Portugal 1,150; Belgium 1,134; Hungary 1,106
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
Support multilingual political text research, enabling standardized tasks in gender/group prediction, stance/vote prediction, and IR.
### Source Data
#### Data Collection and Processing
- **Source:** Official EP debates.
- **Processing:** metadata linking, language verification, deduplication, multilingual title extraction.
- **Quality checks:** consistency in language tags and IDs.
#### Who are the source data producers?
MEPs speaking in plenary debates; titles from official EP records.
### Annotations
#### Annotation process
Metadata compiled from public records; no manual stance labels.
#### Personal and Sensitive Information
Contains names and political opinions of public officials.
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- Domain bias: formal political discourse.
- Risk in demographic inference tasks.
- Language/script differences affect comparability.
### Recommendations
- Report per-language metrics.
- Avoid over-claiming causal interpretations.
