# AAVE/SAE Paired Dataset
This repository contains the SAE samples accompanying the paper Investigating African-American Vernacular English in Transformer-Based Text Generation (EMNLP 2020).
To encourage future work in developing NLP for diverse audiences, we introduce a dataset of 2019 intent-equivalent AAVE/SAE pairs. The AAVE samples are sampled from Blodgett et. al. (2016)'s TwitterAAE, with their corresponding SAE samples annotated by Amazon MTurk.
To comply with Twitter's Terms of Service, we are only including the SAE samples here. Please view the optional supplementary materials on ACL Anthology for the full dataset.
