This repo is for CLGC: A Corpus for Chinese Literary Grace Evaluation. It is a corpus for Chinese Literary Grace Evaluation. The corpus consists of 10,000 texts from novels and prose, with more than 1.85 million tokens, including 64% level 1 texts (6,448 texts, 1,192,144 tokens), 19% level 2 texts (1959 texts, 369,946 tokens) and 15% level 3 texts (1593 texts, 294,748 tokens).

abstract = {In this paper, we construct a Chinese literary grace corpus, CLGC, with 10,000 texts and more than 1.85 million tokens. Multi-level annotations are provided for each text in our corpus, including literary grace level, sentence category, and figure-of-speech type. Based on the corpus, we dig deep into the correlation between fine-grained features (semantic information, part-of-speech and figure-of-speech, etc.) and literary grace level. We also propose a new Literary Grace Evaluation (LGE) task, which aims at making a comprehensive assessment of the literary grace level according to the text. In the end, we build some classification models with machine learning algorithms (such as SVM, TextCNN) to prove the effectiveness of our features and corpus for LGE. The results of our preliminary classification experiments have achieved 79.71% on the weighted average F1-score.},

There are 6 tags to express the result of literary grace annotation: 1 (all the annotators chose 1); 0.8 (four annotators chose 1, one chose 0); 0.6 (three annotators chose 1, two chose 0); 0.4 (two annotators chose 1, two chose 0); 0.2 (one annotator chose 1, four chose 0); 0 (all annotators chose 0).
• The second column is the sentences of each file, a new sentence a new line.
• The indexes after the second column are the sentence category tag, the cross-sentence figure of speech tag, figure-of-speech count, and figure-of-speech type tag (contained in '[]' and split by ',').
• 'pp' means the end of a paragraph, and 'end' means the end of a segment.
