VerbsWithAttributes

VerbsWithAttributes

This folder contains the Verbs With Attributes dataset, as well as some other goodies (namely, definitions for all of the verbs).

attributes_split.csv

This is the data split that I used for my experiments. Although we collected annotations on the verb template level (consisting of a verb + an optional particle, ex. "put on", "put off", "put"), we split the dataset on the verb level.

The file attributes_split.csv has an additional column, in_imsitu which is True if that verb is in the imSitu database. To get the imSitu index, filter out all rows where in_imsitu is false, and then use the corresponding 0-index on the verbs. (If you don't want to do the filtering, you can also use the file imsitu_verbs.txt).

verb_definitions.csv

This file contains definitions for our verb templates that I scraped from wordnik. I filtered out all definitions that weren't labeled as verbs, so you can pretty much ignore the POS column. Note that some verb templates don't have definitions (so you'll have to backoff to verbs in those cases).
