This dataset is described in the paper "The interplay between language similarity and script on a novel multi-layer Algerian dialect corpus" by Samia Touileb and Jeremy Barnes, accepted at Findings of ACL: ACL2021.

This corpus is built on top of the NArabizi treebank by Seddah et all., 2020 freely available here.

The extentions to the treebank are added in the .conllu files, split into pre-defined train, dev, and test sets (as inherited from the original NArabizi treebank).

The sentiment and topic annotations are presented as one sentence per line, following the format "conllu_ID \t annotation".
