Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

RO-Political Corpus is a collection of datasets for RoNLP, focused on detecting the difference between political texts written by humans, during the presidential elections from Romania (2024-2025), and synthetic texts generated with LLM models, as well as on studying linguistic characteristics such as slang, idioms, figurative expressions and "monkey business" behaviors in political discourse on social networks.

The dataset includes:

• —political posts, comments and replies (tweets) extracted from social media

Objectives:

• —Detection of synthetic text

• —Analysis of political polarization

Supported Tasks

• —Toxicity classification

• —Political discourse style analysis (slang, tone, bias)

Languages

Romanian

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

{
  "id": 4,
  "text": "Dacă Nicușor ajunge președinte, o să fie vai și amar de noi. Promisiuni multe, dar fapte zero. Ne-a mai păcălit o dată la primărie, acum vine iar cu gogoși electorale.",
  "text_type": "comment",
  "label": "HUMAN"
}

Data Fields

• —id - unique ID for each text instance
• —text - full text (human written or AI-generated)
• —text_type - indicates the text type (comment, post, tweet)
• —label - indicates whether the text is written by a human or AI-generated (HUMAN, AI, HYBRID)

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

tbd

Source Data

• —Social networks such as TikTok, X and Reddit - public data (using crawling via API or legal scraping, including manual scraping)

• —Political topics (presidential, local, parties, ideology, etc.)

Annotations

• —Manual annotations - toxicity score, slang presence, figurative language presence, HYBRID text labeling

• —Semi-automatic - using LLMs + human validation (?)

• —Consensus on at least 2 native annotators for validation (tbd)

Other Known Limitations

tbd

Ethical Considerations

• —Comments are completely anonymized.

• —Text generated by LLMs is clearly marked and is not presented as real content.

• —No political ideas/ideologies are promoted — the purpose is synthetic text detection, linguistic and stylistic analysis.

• —Use of this dataset outside of academic purposes is not encouraged.
