#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Run this script as ./conversion_script.py to convert the EventCausality entries from the CREST v2 aggregation file to HF-compatible parquet files. KNOWN UNFIXABLE (2026-07-11) -- do not "fix" this by pointing it at CogComp/TCR's data. Researched at length trying to find a direct source to replace CREST for this dataset (as was done for CaTeRS, BioCause, COPA, TCR): EventCausality's original release (Do, Chan & Roth, EMNLP 2011, 580 manually-annotated causal links on 25 CNN articles) was never publicly archived anywhere reachable -- confirmed by reading the paper itself (which only promises "we plan to make this dataset available soon" via a CogComp resource-page URL that is now a dead/JS-templated page with no static fallback), and by searching the whole CogComp GitHub org (no matching repo). The only accessible data touching these same 25 documents is github.com/CogComp/TCR (see ../TCR/conversion_script.py) -- but that is a DIFFERENT, later, re-annotated dataset built for a different paper (Ning et al., ACL 2018): events were re-extracted with ClearTK rather than reusing Do et al.'s original manual event set, and causal links were independently re-annotated and pruned (580 -> 172, a different label scheme too: TCR's binary causes/caused_by vs. EventCausality's causality/relatedness). Repointing this converter at TCR's data would silently conflate two distinct datasets under one citation -- decided NOT to do that. This script is therefore left exactly as it was: still fed by CREST's own (independently confirmed corrupted/incomplete: 0 train rows) aggregation, which is the best available approximation of the true EventCausality data until/unless a first-party archive of the original release resurfaces. If you're comparing models against "EventCausality" using this data, treat effectiveness numbers on it as unreliable for that reason -- it is not a data-loading bug in the usual sense.
