# FEWS: Few-shot Examples of Word Sense

This is the codebase for the [FEWS (Few-shot Examples of Word Sense)](https://nlp.cs.washington.edu/fews/) dataset. This code will allow you to replicate the data creation process, given a Wiktionary dump .xml file. The README for the dataset itself is in dataset_README.txt.

## How to Run
To create the dataset with a given Wiktionary dump .xml file, run `bash create_dataset.sh <WIKI_FILE_PATH>`. FEWS was created with the 01/01/2020 Wiktionary dump (which is no longer available on the WikiMedia checkpoint page, but similar checkpoints of Wiktionary can be found [here](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html)). We use the "Articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages" version. This code needs [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) to run.
